About
This hike is unique. We spent many days over the winter of 2024/25 in the Tirana Valleys researching the route.
Unlike most Tirana day trips, our hike takes place in Tirana County itself. There is no long transfer! It is just 24km from Mother Teresa Square to the hike start point (we'll allow 40 minutes).
You'll be walking through a beautiful area that has zero tourism activity, and is not visited even by Tirana folk. We're very confident that the only people we'll meet are local villagers and shepherds.
The scenery is simply incredible. You won't believe you are just a few kilometres from Tirana.
This hike is possible to make from early October through till the end of April. In the ...

Itinerary
This is a unique hike in the Tirana Valleys that we developed over the winter of 2024/25.
You will need a good level of fitness and be prepared for some steep climbs on poorly maintained paths. The only people walking these trails are local shepherds, and us!
The hike starts from a village in the Baldushk region, to the southwest of Tirana - at about 210m altitude. Our target is the summit of Mali i Vrapit (647m). The path is pretty good for most of the way, but towards the peak we have to find our own way across uneven limestone. It should take us about 2h 30m to reach the top.
After enjoying the views we'll descend - the first 100m are the trickiest part of the hike. From here the ter...
