Balkans
Cross the wild borderlands of Albania, Montenegro and Kosovo on sections of the Peaks of the Balkans trail, one of Europe's last great wilderness walks through the rugged Accursed Mountains.
Overview
Few trails in Europe feel this remote. The Peaks of the Balkans Trail winds through dramatic mountain scenery, passing traditional mountain villages that often feel like somewhere time forgot. Ancient shepherd paths climb over high alpine passes, drop into deep glacial valleys and connect communities that until recently were sealed off from the world by Cold War borders. Our walk covers some of the trail's finest sections through Albania and Montenegro, with nights spent in family guesthouses where the hospitality is genuine, and the food is homegrown. This is the Balkans at its most raw and most rewarding.
