Full description

Breathe in Albania's crisp mountain air on this guided hiking tour from Tirana. Start with pickup from your accommodation in Tirana. Relax in a comfortable vehicle for around 1 hour 30 minutes( with one market/toilet break and a quick photo stoop at a the small Bovilla canyon) on the transfer through the scenic countryside to sparkling waters of Bovilla Lake.

Be greeted by the tranquil beauty of the lake and the impressive dam, set against the backdrop of towering mountains. Begin your hiking adventure, where every turn offers a new breathtaking view, inviting you to connect with nature in its purest form.

Keep an eye out for wildlife. Blend leisure and learning, with ample opportunities for photography enthusiasts to capture the majestic scenery. Ascend to a viewpoint where you can relax with stunning lake and mountain views for around 2 hours.

Descend along the same path to the vehicle(around 40 minutes) for the transfer back to your accommodation in Tirana(around 1 hour 30 minutes). Arrive at your hotel with a deeper appreciation for Albania's natural treasures.

Please consider: Swimming , littering , kayaking, etc. in the lake is FORBIDDEN. This is a protected area.

Please consider: This is a group tour that involves a tiring hike of 2 to 2.5 km, depending on the point where the van will stop. It can be really challenging in the Albanian weather, especially if you haven't hiked before. Discuss with your guide beforehand your options if you can't continue the hike.
