Top Rinas How to Get Around

This is one of Albania’s most iconic hiking adventures — and we make it smooth and stress-free to enjoy on your own. Your journey starts early from Tirana or Shkoder with organized transport through Komani Lake and Valbona. Once in Valbona, you’ll overnight there and begin your hike to Theth the next morning. We provide a detailed digital hiking map, tips, and a full itinerary to guide you through the trail. You’ll hike across the stunning Accursed Mountains at your own pace, surrounded by panoramic views, wild nature, and alpine villages. The next day, return to Shkoder with pre-arranged transport from Theth. ️Prefer to start in Theth and hike to Valbona instead? Just let us know when booking — we’ll arrange everything accordingly. This tour is ideal for active travelers who want to experience the Valbona-Theth trail with full freedom, yet professionally organized logistics.

We begin the adventure at “Avni Rustemi Square,” at the entrance of the “New Bazaar.” After outlining the route, we’ll cycle out of the city on dedicated bike lanes until the real adventure starts on off-road terrain. This tour reveals a side of Tirana that you won’t see on regular city tours. You’ll experience the genuine hospitality of locals from the very first kilometer. Midway, we’ll enjoy lunch and coffee at an agricultural restaurant, where you’ll taste delicious organic food prepared with love by a local family. Then, we continue the journey through single trails, forests, and perhaps even a few rivers! We end the tour with a relaxing coffee to unwind. Note: The route is 30% asphalt, 50% off-road, and 20% single trails. You should have a medium level of mountain biking experience and be in good health. We provide first aid assistance and can arrange hospital care if needed. Last but not least don’t forget to bring your helmet and a big smile!
