[ Tell us four things ]

No model, no guessing: the plan below is a function of your answers and our route registry. The warnings are the part worth reading.

The Alps, properly · 4 nights

Shkodër, the 09:00 ferry, a night in Valbonë, the 1,795 m pass to Theth, and back out by road. We picked it because it is the longest route your nights actually cover.

Reality checks

CheckSleep on both sides of the pass 

The crossing is 15 to 17 km village to village, or 9.5 km from the Rrogam trailhead, and takes five to eight hours. Doing it as a return day walk means carrying everything twice and seeing one valley.

CheckThe ferry decides the direction 

There is one useful sailing a day: Koman at 09:00, Fierza at 13:00. That makes Shkodër to Valbonë a morning and Theth to Shkodër a road transfer, which is why the route runs this way round.
