Description

Leave the hustle of Tirana behind and step into one of Albania’s most spectacular natural escapes — Bovilla Lake and Gamti Mountain. This day trip combines gentle hiking, stunning landscapes, and authentic Albanian cuisine, making it the perfect mix of adventure and local flavor. Begin with pickup from your accommodation in Tirana. After about 75–90 minutes of driving through scenic countryside, reach Lake Bovilla, a turquoise reservoir surrounded by dramatic cliffs and forested hills. Stop by the dam and enjoy your first panoramic views before taking a short walk around the lakeshore. Continue with a moderate hike up Gamti Mountain (around 2 km uphill). The trail is accessible for most visitors and rewards you with incredible 360° views from the top — perfect for photos and relaxation. Your local guide will share stories about the area’s natural history and local culture throughout the way. After descending, it’s time for lunch. Sit down at Restaurant Bovilla and enjoy a full traditional three-course meal — typically including a salad, a main dish (grilled meat, or vegetarian), and a local dessert. Water and soft drinks are provided. Finally, relax on your ride back to Tirana, reflecting on a day full of fresh air, nature, and authentic Albanian tastes.
