Hiking Dajti Mountain
Hiking Dajti Mountain
This activity is perfect for those who love a natural escape, but also want to explore the local culture and emerge into Tirana's lively atmosphere. With us you will explore the best local spots, what the locals do, where the locals go... Let me just give you an example: the best Raki (liquor) place in Town! 🙂
This day trip is for active people who enjoy hiking to the top and receive stunning views in return. We start the trip with a panoramic cable car ride to the National park, after which we will follow a trail through the oak forest. If it’s panoramic views and fresh air you’re after, an escape from the hustle and bustle of Tirana, then this Albania gift experience certainly won’t disappoint. Though you’ll be doing a fair bit of walking as you cross the Cherry Pass, which divides the peaks of Dajti and Maja e Tujanit, it’s nothing too strenuous. We can enjoy a snack at the peak of Tujani (optional) and then head back to the national Park to enjoy a coffee stop at Dajti Panoramic Bar.
