Albanian Alps, Valbona Valley & Prizren – 2-Day Private Tour from Tirana

Albanian Alps, Valbona Valley & Kosovo's Prizren – 2-Day Private Tour from Tirana

Where jagged Alpine peaks meet medieval Kosovar cobblestones, one of the Balkans' most unforgettable short escapes begins. Cross into Kosovo to explore Prizren — a beautifully preserved Ottoman city of mosques, stone bridges, and a 500-year-old hilltop fortress. Then climb deep into the Albanian Alps for an overnight stay in the legendary Valbona Valley, a UNESCO national park of soaring peaks, glacial rivers, and authentic mountain hospitality. The return journey delivers the trip's most dramatic moment: a ferry cruise across Lake Komani, a breathtaking canyon waterway frequently compared to the Norwegian fjords. Two days, three unforgettable destinations, one private vehicle — hotel and breakfast in Valbona included, with door-to-door pickup from Tirana or the airport.

This is Albania beyond the guidebooks.

Availability

01 May – 15 October. (Subject to ferry operations - If ferry is closed the return trip will be done through Kosovo)

Day 1 – Tirana → Prizren → Valbona Valley

You will have free time to explore Prizren’s Old Town, including the iconic Stone Bridge, lively Shadervan Square, and, if you wish, a walk up to the fortress viewpoint for panoramic views over the city and surrounding mountains. An optional riverside lunch offers the chance to taste local cuisine before continuing the journey. In the afternoon, travel toward Valbona Valley National Park, driving through impressive mountain landscapes. Upon arrival, check in at your guesthouse or hotel and enjoy free time to relax in the peaceful alpine surroundings. Overnight in Valbona.

Day 2 – Valbona → Bajram Curri → Komani Lake Ferry → Tirana

After breakfast at the hotel or guesthouse, enjoy a relaxed morning in Valbona. You may take a short village walk, visit an old water mill, or simply enjoy the fresh mountain air and views of the surrounding peaks. Later, transfer via Bajram Curri to Fierza Port, where you will board the ferry for one of the most scenic boat journeys in Europe. The Komani Lake ferry ride, lasting approximately two to two and a half hours, passes through dramatic mountain gorges and emerald waters often compared to Norwegian fjords.
