Valbone – Valbona Pass – Theth

After a short local transfer, meet the mule porter carrying the main luggage and begin the ascent towards Valbona Pass (1,811 m). The route climbs through forest and open meadows, with several steeper sections above Rragam.

From the pass, views extend across both valleys and the surrounding limestone peaks. Descend through beech forest towards Theth, where Mount Arapi becomes increasingly prominent above the village.

The stage ends at a family-run guesthouse. The crossing is a sustained mountain walk and should be completed only when the route is open and conditions are suitable.
