This is a non-supported expedition. You carry what you need, individually and as a team, and learn to operate autonomously while managing your resources, energy and decisions collectively. Our crew remains responsible for route planning, risk management and access to local emergency support.
You do not need to be an expert. You do need to be prepared to learn, contribute and take responsibility.
Throughout the expedition, you will develop practical skills in:
Survival & fieldcraft — military-derived principles adapted for civilian expedition use
Mountain movement — navigation, route selection, pacing and difficult terrain
Wilderness First Aid — assessment, field treatment and evacuation decision-making
Cold exposure & breathing — controlled exposure and managing acute discomfort
Group dynamics — communication, leadership and decision-making under pressure
Wild food foraging — guided by a local expert with knowledge of the region
Day of Arrival/Day Zero: Logistics, briefing and dinner provided
Day 1-6: On route (4 days food on field and 2 days with locals)
Day 6 evening: Closing night with BBQ
Day 7: Day of departure, transport to Tirana Airport
We strongly believe in learning by experience and simulation. During the expedition different kind of scenario’s will be integrated to enhance training effects.
We work closely with an experienced local mountain ranger who knows the region, terrain and communities in depth. His local knowledge supports our route planning and provides access to a regional emergency network if required.
Along the route, you will encounter local communities and experience northern Albania beyond the usual tourist routes.
Pack for four seasons, essentials only.
Your booking is protected against insolvency. In the event of financial failure of the tour operator, the statutory insolvency protection provides for a refund, continuation of the trip or, if necessary, repatriation.
