Home to some of the grandest peaks in the country, Valbona is otherwise known as the pearl of the Albanian Alps. Alpine lakes, waterfalls, rivers and mystical forests make it one of the most photogenic places you will ever set foot on.

But, we love Valbona Valley for much more than its vibrant and exhilarating beauty. We love it for its gurgling sounds and its alpine silences, its grandeur that puts things in perspective, the fact that we feel both small and safe embraced by the most gorgeous offerings that mother nature has to give. We love Valbona for its gastronomical gifts, as well, and the fresh delectableness it never ceases to offer.

We love Valbona because it never tires of giving! Truly ideal if you’d like to get away from any beach or urban crowds and immerse yourself in a place that seems to instantly add years to your life.
