Albanian Alps (Theth & Valbona)

Our June-window guide to the Albanian Alps: the Theth-Valbona pass hike, the Komani Lake ferry, family-run guesthouses at €15-25 a night, raki around the wood stove, plus a Tirana stopover. The first daily-departure week opens early June, before the high-season prices and the heaviest hiker traffic land.
