Itinerary description
The trail starts from Saraqinisht, a small village 13 km from Gjirokaster. The road to reach the village is paved. The Laluci summit is the heights peak with 2155 M of the Lunxheri ridge. To reach the summit of Laluci (Spilese) there are two trails, north and south trail. We ascended from North trail and descended from South Trail. Around 1 km before reaching the summit we face an ice terrain and we had to use the ice axe and this is the reason why at 7km we diverted the trail on left side so as to avoid the hard snow. If you ascend this way is better to use crampons. Length up to summit is roughly 8 km. I would recommend to ascend from south trail. On the summit there is a beautiful view around. At the way down 2km before reaching the start point, we deviated to the right because we decided to visit the Monastery of Spilese. It is positioned on one of the slopes of Lunxheria Mountain. Monastery has been constructed at the beginning of XVII century. Very close to the start point you can visit the Ancient ruin of Antigone.
