sequence
Your adventure begins with a pickup at 6:00 a.m. right from your hotel in Tirana. Together, we’ll drive to the Albanian Alps and on to the spectacular Valbona Valley.
Over the course of six days, you’ll enjoy guided hikes to waterfalls, traditional mountain villages, mountain lakes, and the source of the Valbona River, combined with yoga, qigong, meditation, mindfulness, and Shaolin kung fu amidst the breathtaking natural surroundings. Swim in crystal-clear mountain lakes and the Valbona River, and enjoy relaxing moments at the hotel and by the pool.
A special highlight is the boat ride across the turquoise-colored Lake Drin, surrounded by imposing mountains. After six eventful days, you’ll be transferred back directly to your hotel in Tirana.
Arrival
Individual travel to Tirana is not included in the price. The nearest international airport is Tirana International Airport (TIA). Tirana is easily accessible from many German cities via direct flights, which are often affordable, including flights with Wizz Air, Ryanair, and Eurowings.
We recommend arriving in Tirana no later than the evening before the retreat begins, as our group trip to the Albanian Alps starts early the next morning.
The transfer from Tirana to the Valbona Valley and back is included in the retreat price. On the first day of the retreat, we’ll pick you up at 6:00 a.m. directly from your hotel in Tirana. On the last day, after returning from the Albanian Alps, we’ll take you directly back to your hotel in Tirana.
Upon request, we’d be happy to arrange an additional airport transfer between the airport and your hotel in Tirana for an extra fee.
