About us
About Alpine Guide Albania
Alpine Guide Albania is a local mountain guiding company offering guided hikes and trekking experiences across Albania’s most beautiful and remote landscapes. We work mainly in the Albanian Alps, but our routes stretch wherever the mountains lead from dramatic high passes to quiet village trails.
We guide with care, experience, and a deep respect for the land we walk on. Our focus is simple: safe, well-planned hikes that feel personal, relaxed, and genuinely enjoyable. Whether you’re visiting Albania for the first time or returning to explore deeper, we aim to show you the mountains as they really are wild, welcoming, and unforgettable.

Our Story
Alpine Guide Albania started from time spent in the mountains, not from a business plan. Years ago, guiding friends, travelers, and small groups through local trails showed us how many people wanted to experience Albania’s mountains but in a way that felt safe, unhurried, and real.
With nearly a decade of hands-on guiding experience, the company grew naturally. One hike turned into many, word spread, and Alpine Guide Albania became a way to share the places we know best with people from all over the world. We didn’t aim to be the biggest we focused on being reliable, friendly, and knowledgeable.
Today, we still guide with the same mindset: small groups, honest advice, and routes chosen because they’re worth walking, not because they’re trendy. Every trip is shaped by experience, local knowledge, and a genuine love for these mountains.
How We Guide
Our guiding style is calm, flexible, and people-focused. We believe the best hikes happen when everyone feels comfortable physically and mentally. That means clear communication, realistic pacing, and adjusting plans when needed. We never rush a group, and we never push beyond what feels right.
Before each hike, we plan carefully around weather, terrain, and group ability. During the hike, we keep things relaxed and open, questions are always welcome, breaks are taken when needed, and the day flows naturally. Some guests come for a challenge, others for the views and quiet moments. We respect both.
Our guides are local, professional, and deeply connected to the places they guide. They know the main routes, the quieter alternatives, and the small details that make a hike special from the best viewpoints to the stories behind mountain villages.
Just as important, they’re approachable and easy to be around. With us, you’re not following a script you’re hiking with someone who genuinely cares about your experience.
You Never Hike Alone
