Theth, nestled in the Albanian Alps, is a remote and stunning destination popular for hiking and experiencing traditional Albanian culture. The Accursed Mountains offer challenging trails, including the famous Valbona Pass trek, best undertaken from late spring to early autumn due to heavy snow in winter. Accessibility can be difficult, with limited public transportation; a 4x4 vehicle is often recommended for reaching Theth. Solo travelers can enjoy the natural beauty and village atmosphere, but guided tours are advisable for longer hikes and ensuring safety. Accommodation options are mostly guesthouses, offering basic but authentic experiences. Costs are relatively low compared to Western Europe, with daily expenses potentially ranging from $30-$60 depending on accommodation and activities. A typical visit lasts 2-4 days to explore the village and surrounding trails.
