How We Rank
The Albanian Alps — the Accursed Mountains — offer the most concentrated and dramatic hiking in the country, centred on Theth and Valbona National Parks. The iconic Theth-to-Valbona pass trek (18 km, 1 795 m elevation gain) is Albania's most celebrated trail, but it's far from the only option: the Peaks of the Balkans circuit covers 192 km across three countries, the Grunas Waterfall and Blue Eye of Theth offer shorter day-hikes, and the Valbona Valley's network of shepherd trails rewards those who venture beyond the main route. Mountain guesthouses serve farm-to-table meals for €15–25 per night, and the hiking season runs June through September when the high passes are snow-free. Our rankings surface the best guided and self-guided hiking experiences in this region, rated by verified travellers who've walked these trails.
