Sports and leisure activities Dardha

Arrëz/Arrëza (approx. 100 inhabitants) lies south of Dardha, close to the Greek border, at an altitude of 1,030 m above sea level. The village is linked to Dardha by a carriage road (11 km) and by a new road from Miras (to the east). We recommend walking to the village via Sinica, 4 km east of Dardha. This makes for a fairly easy 15.2 km loop (approx. 4h30). On the way, through the forests, you'll come across the Sinica waterfall, bunkers, fountains, the Devoll river and an ancient Bektashi shrine (Vakëfi i Dobërgorës).

This resort (Ski-Pista Bigëll) has just two lifts (a pull-up and a conveyor belt) and 1,300 meters of pistes, located between 1,585 and 1,663 meters above sea level. Established in 2008, it is the only true ski resort in Albania. Discovering this resort is mostly a matter of curiosity, as there's little point in skiing here: once you're at the top of the slope, you enjoy a 2-minute run and then that's it. What's more, it's completely packed at weekends in winter. There's also a decent restaurant on site, open all year round.
