Itinerary description

This GPS entry follows the trail that leads to Theth from Valbona or vice versa. From Valbona, just before the pass appears, requires a bit of negotiation depending on the snow conditions. Typically enough people pass that a trail is made by their footsteps. Just follow them up (or down, if you are coming from Theth) and you'll be fine! Water is available at several points, no need to purify.

Water supply might differ depending on season!

Waypoints

Start of our hike

Official start of the Theth hike

Once

Cross river to keep on trail.

Very shallow river with large rocks so not too painful to cross! Definitely refreshing on a hot summer day!

Intersection

A bit of a confusing intersection but since you know you need to go up, just go up! (To the left another sign said Theth, but had no trail sign)

Route keeps going behind tree. Go Right and then down

On June 2021, a tree blocked the pathway. You can incorporate into the trail by scrambling the rocks to the right and then downhill until the trail is resumed. 5 min detour.
