TIRANA, July 27 – The Albanian Alps continue to attract domestic and foreign visitors during the summer season. Natural landscapes, mountain trails and adventure activities have made the region one of the country’s most visited tourism areas.

Thethi, Valbona and the Shala River remain among the most popular destinations. The Theth–Valbona trail continues to rank among the most attractive hiking routes in the Balkans.

Meanwhile, visitors also choose other trails that connect Albania with Kosova and Montenegro. Tourist guide Kastriot Faci said that around 2,000 to 2,500 people use the Theth–Valbona trail every day. He added that the Peaks of the Balkans route is another important itinerary that crosses Albania, Montenegro and Kosova.

Boat trips on Lake Koman and Lake Fierza represent another major attraction. Tour operator Lida Haxhija said the ferry journey from Koman to Fierza offers visitors views of the mountain landscapes before continuing towards Bajram Curri and Valbona Valley.

Interest in mountain tourism continues to grow each year. The Albanian Alps attract visitors through their natural environment, established hiking routes and diverse experiences.
