Enjoy a 15-minute ride as you glide high above forests, rolling hills, and small mountain villages. The ride offers spectacular views of Tirana, the surrounding valleys, and even the Adriatic Sea in the distance on clear days.

It’s the perfect escape from the busy city, combining comfort, nature, and unforgettable views – all in one unique experience.

At the top of Mount Dajti, you’ll find yourself surrounded by nature, pine forests, and fresh mountain air – a peaceful contrast to the city below.

Enjoy a relaxing walk through the mountain park, discover panoramic viewpoints, and take in the wide-open views of Tirana, the surrounding mountains, and even the sea in the distance.

There’s time to explore the area at your own pace – whether you want to take photos, enjoy a moment of quiet in nature, or simply breathe in the fresh air.
