About this experience
This Tour in Valbona Valley National Park offers a unique experience of nature and mountain lovers. The Albanian alps extended on both the sides, the crystal clear river cutting through the valley, the green surroundings, the quietness and traditional food, make this one day Tour unforgettable experience. This area where we visit, has been isolated for more than 40 years during the communism period in Albania, and along the way you're still able to see the traces of that period, bunkers, old buildings and also hear the storytelling and history of the region.
Valbona Valley has recently become one of the most favourite places to be visited in North Albania by tourists, because of its uniqueness and yet unexplored place.
