Description
Albania is a mountainous Balkan country of stupendous natural beauty with a long and complex history, and a wealth of historic buildings and ancient archaeological sites that can compare for interest and variety with any in the Mediterranean world. High & Wild's guided mountain trekking holiday through the heart Albania's great mountain country will take you to some of Europe's least known, remote and spellbinding landscapes, where life has remained virtually unchanged for over a hundred years. Close to the border with Montenegro - and immortalised by the early 20th century travel writer Edith Durham - the Peaks of Shala through which we trek contain fold after fold of mountain ranges stretching to infinity, dizzying canyons, ancient beech forests and a fiercely independent but warm-hearted people where blood feuds still hold sway. This is trekking in Europe at its best, and direct flights to Tirana now mean this mountain adventure is only a few hours away from the UK. Although Albania is currently a little-known trekking destination this is sure to change in the near future- make sure you get there before the crowds do!

Single Supplements:
We do not like charging for single supplements, unless there is no other option. If you are travelling alone, we will try to arrange a suitable twin share for you.

If this is not possible or desirable, we will endeavour to negotiate the single supplement with the relevant accommodations to ensure the absolute minimum extra cost to you. We are unable to offer single supplements on some journeys where there is no alternative to the shared accommodation or vehicle/porter logistics limit the amount of kit that may be carried. We can offer single tents for a supplement, based on hire and porterage charges at cost on some trips, again logistics permitting.

If you would like to have single accommodation where possible, please indicate this to us as a special request on your booking form or on the special request section when booking online.
