Visits to Tomori National Park (Full-day/ Half-day)

Tomori National Park is one of the largest nature reserves in Albania, with extensive mountainous forest areas. It is situated at the north-west side of the above 2400m reaching, outstanding Mt. Tomori – The “Albanian Olymp”. At its entrances, still today we find well-cultivated mountain village communities, and very friendly inhabitants. For groups with a minimum of 6 persons we offer a range of round-walk itineraries for hikers around Mt. Tomori, with different degrees of difficulty. Here two of our standard tours:

1. “Easy walk” to the Tomori Castle (half-day): Have an efficient 4WD ride up to the Tomori National Park, learn about the National Park and its nature values, discover the remains of the old Tomori castle and make a modest peak within an easy round-walk, including picknick (lunch pack). Relaxing, exciting, easy. Don’t forget to take your drinks with you.

2. Tomori Mountain Village Itinerary (full-day): Follow the path of the shepherd and visit the mountain villages at the foot of the steep west side of Mt. Tomori, in approx. 800m above sea level. You will enjoy the extraordinary sights and refreshing environment! Don’t forget to take your drinks with yourself. A relatively long walk, so good health and fitness for walking are necessary.

Starting from Berat town, also a day visit to the area will pay off. But this extraordinary environment is worth to stay at least one night “uphill”. It is a must if you intend to reach one of the peaks of Mt. Tomori. We organize overnight stays at families’ houses of the Tomori villages, as well as over night stays in tents (camping) in the silent nature of the National Park.
