ALBANIAN ALPS RUN

ROAM Projects is organizing our fourth running/hiking trip to the Albanian Alps for May 11 - 18, 025. Multiple days of adventure in this amazing country (7 days total) will be spent seeing some of the most beautiful mountains and trails in the world.

Our adventure takes place in Theth Valley in the Albanian Alps. The town of Theth is known by foreign tourists as the Last Paradise of Europe. It is a village located in northern Shala Valley nestled in Theth National Park which was established in 1966 to protect the ecosystem, biodiversity, cultural and historical heritage of the region.

The running/hiking tour takes you from mountain guesthouse to mountain guesthouse throughout the valley and along the Alps. The small group includes two local guides as well as a representative from ROAM Projects. Distances range from 7-12 miles each day.

Known as Europe's hidden gem, the Albanian Alps trail running adventure goes through charming villages and off-the-beaten paths through rugged mountain landscapes.

This five day hut to hut style adventure through the mountains is perfect for anyone. You can run it or hike it, and we will have local guides so you'll never be alone. See a part of the world that's mind-blowing, beautiful, and untouched. This trip includes ~50 miles of running/hiking and ~15K feet of vertical climbing. It's an intense but fun adventure. That said, you need to be in good shape for these mountains.

COST: $2,300 with a non-refundable $1,000 deposit. You will receive the deposit back if the trip is canceled for some reason. PLEASE REACH OUT TO US PRIOR TO BOOKING AT GREG@ROAMPROJECTS.COM
