Discover the Untouched Albanian Alps

Get ready to go fully off the grid. The Mountain Explorer Combo perfectly blends the horsepower of our rugged 4x4 off-road vehicles with the serenity and physical reward of a guided mountain trek. We take you deep into the rugged landscapes of the Përmet region, traversing steep mountain passes and accessing remote terrain far beyond where normal vehicles can reach. This is a full-day immersion into the heart of the Trebeshinë-Dhëmbel-Nemërçkë mountain range.

Your day begins with a thrilling 4x4 safari, climbing up dirt tracks and ancient shepherd paths. You'll pass through hidden, centuries-old stone villages where the traditional Albanian way of life remains completely preserved. Once we reach our high-altitude basecamp, we leave the engines behind and switch to foot power. Your expert local guide will lead you on a breathtaking trek through alpine meadows and dense forests, culminating in panoramic views of the entire Vjosa River valley. It’s an epic day of exploration, culture, and active adventure.
