Package 2
Live the Malësorë mountain life for a night—or more
Our overnight stay package gives you a rare chance to experience authentic everyday life in Albania’s so-called "Accursed Mountains." Far from the tourist trails, you'll join a local shepherd family in their highland summer encampment—sharing meals, routines, and stories in a way few visitors ever do.
🗓 Itinerary
Arrival & Hike to the Encampment
Your journey begins at the scenic Qafë Perdolec pass, where you’ll meet your local guide and hike together to the remote summer encampment of your host shepherd family. The hike takes place in the morning, offering beautiful views and a peaceful introduction to the mountains.
Daily Life with the Shepherds
Once you arrive, you’ll be welcomed into the family’s rhythm of life. You’ll have the chance to:
Accommodation
You’ll sleep in a nearby mountain cabin, close to the family’s “Stan” (shepherd shelter). It’s simple, comfortable, and there are plenty of blankets to keep you warm.
Prefer to bring your own tent? You’re welcome to camp beside the shepherd’s cabin—this option comes with a €10 discount per night.
Length of Stay
This is a flexible offer: stay for just one night, or extend your stay to truly soak in the mountain pace.
