Where the road ends, wonder begins.
Theth National Park—a protected valley of waterfalls, mountain passes, and living traditions in northern Albania.
Begin the journeyDeep in the Albanian Alps
A valley shaped by wild water and stone
Theth is where jagged limestone peaks shelter a timeless mountain community. Here, glacial rivers run beneath beech forests and footpaths lead from stone homes to waterfalls, mountain passes, and clear blue pools.

Three ways into the wild
Every trail opens onto a different story—water, heritage, or the high mountains themselves.

Explore hiking routesWatch the wild
Look for golden eagles above the ridges and listen for woodland birds in one of Albania’s richest habitats.
Taste the valley
Share mountain tea, fresh cheese, and slow-cooked dishes with families who have called Theth home for generations.
Plan your visit
The mountains are calling
Late May to October offers the clearest trails. Weather changes quickly in the Alps, so arrive prepared, respect marked routes, and leave the valley as wild as you found it.
