Itinerary description
Depending on where you start and where you end, the hike can range anywhere from around 11-20 kilometers. If you start from Valbone town and hike all the way to Theth town, it’ll be about 17 kilometers. Valbone is very spread out, so where you’re staying and where you start can add a few kilometers to the journey.
The trail starts pretty flat for the first half hour or so. You’ll be walking along rocky terrain but the trail is well worn and clearly marked. Eventually, the incline begins. The inclines are never too tricky or too steep. Just take your time and you’ll be okay.
About halfway to the Valbona Pass, you’ll run into a little cafe where you can buy drinks and refill your water bottles. You can even buy beer here
When you’re close to the Valbona Pass, you might run into some snow along the way.
here are a few trails that branch off from the mountain pass. If you want to climb a little higher, feel free to do this
The views here are absolutely epic. It’s a stunning panorama where you get vistas of the entire Valbona Valley and Theth Valley.
Immediately after the pass, you’ll find yourself going downhill steeply on some pretty unstable rocks. It eases up pretty quickly, though. The path turns into dirt, and is flat for long stretches. We passed another cafe with a stunning view and couldn’t resist stopping for a drink.
Almost at the finish line, though! Push through for the final few kilometers and you’ll be rewarded with the wonderful views from the village of Theth.
