Trekking in Dinaric Alps of Albania, Kosovo and Montenegro

A 12-day trekking trip through the Dinaric Alps to complete an unusual tour that passes through  Albania, Kosovo and Montenegro . Three connected countries that have known how to resist the vicissitudes of a convulsed history throughout centuries and with a very recent past. Making numerous border crossings on this trek to the heart of the Balkans , we will discover in depth the Dinaric Alps , having a complete vision of what this region can offer us: cultural, landscape and human wealth.

The Dinaric Alps are 645 km long, from the Julian Alps to Sar Korab, with an average height of just over a thousand meters. In addition to this mountain range, we visit numerous rural areas and forests, predominating beech forests, where we can discover incredible landscapes in one of the most unknown areas of Europe.
