Radomire – Mt. Korab – Radomire

Today you rise early and prepare for the literal highpoint of this trip: Mt. Korab is at 2.764 m the highest peak of both Albania and North Macedonia. It’s a long and demanding day with much elevation difference but free of technical difficulty. The path sees shepherd huts and mixed terrain, rocky stretches and soft alpine meadows. Reaching the saddle at the border with Macedonia, the path circles the peak and approaches it from the backside, offering another perspective of the rocky giant. Enjoy your picnic and the breathtaking, wide-ranging views from this rooftop across both Albania and Macedonia. On your descent, you may take a slightly different route back to Radomire. The ascent of Korab is optional, you may complete a shorter circuit or only part of the summit return hike – alternatively, you spend the day at leisure around the village. Guests may opt to spend the evening at the “Oda”, a room traditionally reserved for guests, or else the “VIP area” of every tower-house in the highlands. Tomorrow’s overnight will be a lot different.
