Wonderful, wonderful video. Almost like watching a professionally produced documentary! Such an inspiration and Thank you, keep these videos coming please 🙏
I have watched so many of these but your video quality and the shots you captured are by far the best! I'm even more excited about this hike now! Thanks!
Hallo Tristan, ....2022 führte mich meine Motorrad-Tour nach Albanien. Im Video bei 1:08 hatte ich 2 Übernachtungen (Guesthouse Selimaj) als ich von Skodra aus ins Valbona-Tal gefahren bin. Ich bin von Albanien so begeistert, das ich beschloss 2023 diese Tour zu wiederholen. Gruß aus Bayern 😎
We did this hike in 2009. There was no "Kafe" along the way. We were 62 at the time and spent 18 days in Albania discovering a wonderful people. In 2011 we visited Kosovo because of that. There is a Power point Presentation (not video) of that.
aw that's so cool! I could only imagine what it was like back then! The Kafe is definitely a nice addition to the hike and allows you to get a nice cold beer for the top haha!
About to head their tomorrow for a week of hiking with four of my best friends from high school. We started a tradition of a week of hiking every year during covid in 2020 and are now celebrating the fifth anniversary with a trip abroad. We were all tasked to bring a hike proposal to the sauna during christmas to vote for which option to go for (we are all from Sweden and sauna is just... sauna). As we are all spread out around the world this week is a great way to stay connected from many months apart. This video made me want to go here, thanks for sharing!
Hi! Super movie, good job, thanks for sharing. I really like watching new and interesting places. You have an interesting channel, so I'm staying and watching. Big like, stay connected. I’m a new subscriber, greetings from Poland
Wow! I’m about to do a two week adventure in Europe and I had never even heard of this place until your video. I’m adding Valbonë to the itinerary! Beautiful video
Such a breathtaking, magical landscape ❤ what a lovely video thank you, really enjoyed it. Have subscribed and am looking forward to watching the other videos you have. Best wishes 😊
Very nice video I did the trip couple years ago and I loved it I was a little nervous in beginning of the trip but was such an amazing trip very nice people and very safe which I was real surprised
@@Tristandewet yes is actually amazing.. I think the way you explain the nature, and how you talk you should be working in national geographic channel.lol. But actually I'm serious is so good how you talk and explain things which I have yet from any other UA-cam blogger..
Amazing video as usual! We are going to Balkans in a few days and will stay in Theth for a few days. We are going to walk to the pass and back. Could you tell me which month did you take this hike? How far is the pass to Theth? Thank you!
Thank you! I did it last month so it should be very similar now as it was in the video 😊 so it was about 16km, I’d recommend hiking the way I did from valbone to Theth as it’s a slower incline and so a nicer way to hike, in Theth heading to the waterfall and the blue lagoon as they are amazing 🙌🏼
The most beautiful trails there are away from this particular part of the National park which is like a highway with the amount of people on it sadly. Try hiking one of the trails over to Montenegro and back into Albania - much nicer, less people and way more adventurous!
To be honest I am Albanian myself and I never New how beautiful this area was!! I heard about it but never considered going there..but now I think that will be on my list.
Hello @@Tristandewet! Great video share! Thank you! You need to do the Peaks of Balkans; visit Curraj i Eperm - it is almost an abandoned village in the valley just below the valley of Theth and Valbona (see map), you can reach via Komani lake - and which is also a must too, Shala River - all breathtaking places.. Let me know if you need more information! Enjoy as much as possible!
@@Tristandewet I recommend you visit Karavasta lagoon.Its maybe the only lagoon with so many diversities.Its like a dream place and its surprising that Europe has such a place.
I did this hike few days back. In my opinion it is too much hyped. But then I come from himalayas and this hike did not even break my sweat. Valbona is nice yes. But these are not really as remote valleys as wr find across Himalayas.
haha true, compared to the Himalayas these are small mountains. Its still a very beautiful mountain range and in terms of European standards a remote hike. Where would you say the best places in the Himalayas are for me to hike some remote trails?
For me as a Swiss i love Albania because the Landscape reminds me of Home. But its much more untouched wild Nature and much cheaper😉☺️ And the People are very very nice!
Hi Tristan! This is the most wonderful video I’ve seen about the Albanian Alpes! And your narrative, just wow💛 don’t mind me asking but in 3 weeks I’m going do hike this superb mountains but I’m a little afraid about the path. Is it well signed? Did you ever loose yourself? Thank you!
It is possible I believe but be careful because if there is a lot of snow it can be very dangerous at the top, check just before you do it to see what the snow looks like 👍🏼
I think on average it takes about 6-7 hours to complete so I’d say starting between 7am-9am would be good because then you arrive not to late in the evening 👍🏼
Hello amazing video i have a couple of questions if u dont mind, can a beginner do the hike from valbone to teth? And how much time did it take to accomplish it all? And was the trail easy to follow? Thank you
Thanks 🙏🏼 I’d say yes you could, it’s not technically difficult and it’s very easy to follow. There are some parts you need t be careful as they are by steep cliffs. I’d say 6-8 hours is about average. However give yourself more time so you ca stop and enjoy all the views cause they are amazing 👌🏼
Hi Brother,video is great..i m 43 years old n ve never done hiking in my life,after seeing your video i ve developed interest..i just want to ask for timer like me is it safe to do hiking in valbona?
@@Itsyourreflection5226 hi! That’s great to hear! Yes the trail is pretty easy to follow and during the summer months there’s many people to do it! So just be prepared for 6-7 hours hiking and you should be great! I saw a few older people doing the hike so don’t see why you couldn’t 🙌
Really nice video Tristan, made me fell in love with the north of my country. Try to make a video about Albanian riviera i am sure that will be very popular. Keep up the good job brav!!🙏
I was hiking there last summer 2023
Wow. Albania is absolutely stunning. A beautiful country. The Albanian Alps are jaw dropping. Best wishes from USA.
They are indeed! Thanks for the comment 🙏
This hiking is sick!! One of the best place I've ever been

Beautiful places, magnificent mountain, peaceful sound certainly the best video i have seen. Love every second of it.

Glad you enjoyed it! Its such a beautiful place indeed 🙌
I just saw your video now the Albanian prime minister shared this video on his Facebook page.today
I know I’ve just seen! So cool how he shared it! I’m glad he liked it 🤙🏼
@@Tristandewet yes is actually amazing..
I think the way you explain the nature, and how you talk you should be working in national geographic channel.lol.
But actually I'm serious is so good how you talk and explain things which I have yet from any other UA-cam blogger..
Thank you I’ll be hoping to be making loads more videos explains many more places in the world 😊

So much great footage in this vid I had to subscribe!
Thank you! 🙌🏼 Appreciate it 🤙🏼
To be honest I am Albanian myself and I never New how beautiful this area was!!
I heard about it but never considered going there..but now I think that will be on my list.
That’s amazing to hear! I’d definitely recommend a visit! Where else would you recommend me to visit in Albania 🇦🇱
@@Tristandewet I wish I could.i don't live in Albania..I live in the UK for 21 years..so I don't really know what to recommend..

@@md7171 thank you 🙏🏼
I'm really surprised you don't have that many subscribers!
I think will you from now on after the Albanian prime minister shared your video
Haha yeah hopefully I get some more now 😂
Great shots and movie!! Nice drone work! When did you film this? I am going monday, so I am curious how actual this is.
Filmed 20th June so just over a month ago 👍🏼 Should be pretty similar now I’ve heard maybe just less ice 🤙🏼
I love my country 🇦🇱😍
Amazing, you're voice over was so calming. When did you visit this place, and was it busy?
Thanks! I visited middle of June and it wasn’t to busy 🙌🏼
Great video mate. Do you have an itinerary you could share showing days spent in each place?
I did this hike few days back. In my opinion it is too much hyped. But then I come from himalayas and this hike did not even break my sweat. Valbona is nice yes. But these are not really as remote valleys as wr find across Himalayas.

Did the hike in mid June 😊👍🏼
For me as a Swiss i love Albania because the Landscape reminds me of Home. But its much more untouched wild Nature and much cheaper😉☺️ And the People are very very nice!
Exactly! The mountains are very similar just way cheaper 😂
Hi Tristan! This is the most wonderful video I’ve seen about the Albanian Alpes! And your narrative, just wow💛 don’t mind me asking but in 3 weeks I’m going do hike this superb mountains but I’m a little afraid about the path. Is it well signed? Did you ever loose yourself? Thank you!
Thank you 🙏🏼 Yes there is lots of markers showing the way along the path and I didn’t loose the way at any point 😊
WOW!!
Mrekulli E Natyres
Amazing hike!! Can I find this specific trail in AllTrails app? Im kinda new to hiking so wherever I go I am too afraid of getting lost
Hi,exellentt. Am going now alone.Did you meet some People on your way ? Are bears there?
The Albanian Alps look similar to the alps because it is apart of the European Alps
nice!
What hotels are there. Also incredible video
there are many guesthouses in both towns than you can stay at. There were a few people who didn’t book they just turned up and got a place 👌🏼
Hi Tristan, what time of year did you go up there?
middle of June 👍
Hi! It is possible to do this hike at early may ? TY, nice video.
It is possible I believe but be careful because if there is a lot of snow it can be very dangerous at the top, check just before you do it to see what the snow looks like 👍🏼
What time of the day should one start this hike please?
I think on average it takes about 6-7 hours to complete so I’d say starting between 7am-9am would be good because then you arrive not to late in the evening 👍🏼

Hey! great video, what time of the year did you go there?
Thank you! It was middle of June 😊
Beautiful video! Sorry if I missed it, but what time of the year did you hike there? Planning to go there this year.
I did it in middle of June and I’d say this is a good time to do it cause the snow on the pass had just melted 👍🏼
WHAT IS BEST TIME TO TRAVEL HERE FOR HIKING THANK YOU
I would say from middle of June to September as there is no snow and the weather is perfect then 👍🏼

Keep up the good job brav!!🙏
Thank you! 🙏🏼 I’m glad it did! Yeah I will definitely visit Albania again and make more videos 😊🤙🏼
beautiful but not hidden at all its very touristy
Now yes but a few years ago not at all
They don’t sell their homes or land. It’s a tradition.
Bro, which month did you get this section?
I hiked in middle of June 🤙🏼
🤩👋👏👌
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Forgotten???went in the first week of October and the walk was packed. Valbona is hardly a town!!
