A Day in the Life

Our featured package, A Day in the Life, gives you the unique opportunity to experience authentic everyday living in the "Accursed" Albanian mountains, the Malësorë shepherd way.

From your starting point at Qafe Perdolec, you will hike early in the morning with your guide(s) to the summer encampment of your host family. Once there, you will be invited to take part in their daily activities, which include milking the sheep, following the family members as they take their livestock out to graze in the high pastures, experiencing home life inside their Stan and learning to prepare milk, cheese and other local dishes for dinner.

Depending on the tasks for the day, there may be other opportunities to help on their private farms, explore the surroundings or relax at home and take in the peaceful atmosphere.

You will later have enjoy a meal with the family, before being escorted back to Qafe Perdolec or Lepushë, depending on your lodging location. Alternatively, if you have your own tents, you can also opt to camp near the family's Stan for the night or rent a tent from us for €10 and enjoy sleeping under the starry sky - on clear nights you can even see the milky way!
