We will pick you up from your accommodation or meeting point in Tirana and begin our guided hiking tour to Bovilla Lake. Sit back and relax in our comfortable van for a 1.5-hour drive, including a short stop at a local market where you can purchase snacks/drinks and use the bathrooms/toilets free of charge.

During the journey, your tour guide will share interesting information about Albania areas. Your first stop will be the Bovilla Canyons, where you can stretch your legs and enjoy the refreshing air and beautiful landscape of the small canyon.

Just 10 minutes from there, you will arrive at Bovilla Lake, where the hike begins. After a short briefing from the guide, you’ll start the hike. As you climb, take in the serene surroundings—the higher you go, the more breathtaking the view becomes!

At the famous “Balcony of Bovilla,” you’ll have free time to soak in the stunning panorama. For photography enthusiasts, this is the perfect spot to capture unforgettable shots. If you prefer to relax, find a peaceful corner to sit and enjoy nature. Nearby, there is a bar/restaurant where you can grab a drink while admiring the lake view.

On the way back, we’ll make a stop at the river just below the dam, where you can cool off with a refreshing swim (available from May to September). Please note that swimming in the lake itself is not permitted as it is a protected area.

After this memorable experience, we will drive you back to your accommodation or meeting point in Tirana.

IMPORTANT: The hike is around 2 km ( 1 km one way)- easy level- but for some people it might be difficult considering the hot weather in the summer and maybe not used to hike before. Please talk to the tour guide about it before or if you find difficulties on the hike. We are always happy to help.
