Tourist offices North

It's sad, but this is how financial aid from the European Union is sometimes used in Albania. This tourist office in the Valbona valley was created in 2019 as part of an EU integration program. Since then, the website has ceased to function and the pretty wooden chalet has been transformed into... a hotel (12 rooms, €50/140 for two, breakfast €7). Comfort and hospitality leave much to be desired. There's still a tourist information office here, but the staff are not at all competent.

This tourist information center in the Theth Valley is a relay for both the Alps of Albania National Park and the Peaks of the Balkans trail network. The website is rich in information (trails, accommodation, history, places to visit, list and contacts of mountain guides...). Alas, on site, the small office open during the summer months isn't much help. Further information is available from the owners of the gîtes, hotels and guesthouses in the Theth Valley.
