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 terrain gets easier, as we stroll to the village café, hopefully arriving around 13.30. Here we'll enjoy a beer and a simple lunch made from ingredients sourced in the village.

At 15.00-15.30, Beni, the village's bus driver, will take us back down to the start point in his treasured 1980s Mercedes minibus. The distance is only about 7km but the road is extremely rough, so it will take about 40 minutes!

The drive-time back to Tirana is difficult to estimate due to the city's crazy traffic!
