• Day 1: Into the Wild
Shkodër → Shala River → Valbona
The journey begins early in Shkodër at 07:30 AM (Location -> 3G97+277 Shkoder) as the city slowly disappears behind you and the mountains begin to take over the horizon.
A scenic drive leads to Komani Lake, where you board a boat and enter one of Europe’s most striking waterways. Steep cliffs rise from both sides, and the world feels quieter with every kilometer.
At Shala River, the landscape opens into a hidden canyon paradise. Here, time slows down. Swim in crystal-clear water, sit on natural riverbanks, or simply take in the silence of untouched nature.
After 4 hour free time, at 3:00PM get Boat from Shala River to Fierze. Later, the journey continues deeper into the mountains toward Valbona Valley, where dramatic peaks surround you as daylight fades into the evening.
• Day 2: The Alpine Crossing
Valbona → Theth Hike (Self-Guided).
The heart of the adventure.

By the end of the hike, you arrive in Theth, a remote village surrounded by waterfalls, stone houses, and towering peaks.
• Day 3: Hidden Valleys
Theth → Qafë Thore → Shkodër
