Itinerary description
Maja Vali i Bufit is situated southeast of Maja Çikës, and south of Maja Fjerit. The trail starts from Vranisht, a small village. The road to reach the start point is paved, except the last 3 km, but not in bad condition. After the start you have to pass the village up until you will catch the trail. At the elevation 640m or 3.8 km from the start you will catch the stream of the dry river and you have to continue for 1,5 km until you have to deviate in right to continue with the trail in direction of the peak. In return we decided to continue through the forest but I do not recommend because the trail is hard to find, it is covered from small and medium bushes, better to keep the stream of the dry river. The trail is visible but I recommend to have a GPS device. From the top of the mountain, you can see from one part the Ionian see and from the other the valley of Shushica. After reaching Vali I Bufit we decide to go also to Maja e Cikes. The trail to go to Maja e Cikes from this point is difficult, we kept the old trail Pilur-Maja e Cikes but it passes through a territory full of big mountain stone. Also, in some place the trail was not in good condition because of erosion of the mountain, so you have to be very attention. In return we decide to keep the ridge of the mountain and it was ease to follow as a return trail.
