Itinerary description

This route is an amazing option for a one-day walk from Theth. We went to the top and back through the same path.

We started walking from our guesthouse in Theth, but it’s also a good option to do the first 40 minutes of the walk by car (only recommendable if you have a 4x4 or a big car). All the path was very well signposted with red and white marks.

When we arrived to the Valbona pass, we turned right to continue walking for 20 more minutes and we went up a small peak where we had an amazing view of both the Theth valley and the Rrogram one.

We walked around 6-7 hours in total, but I recommend you to do all the stops you need to really appreciate the breathtaking views this area have to offer.
