Where to Stay in Theth and How Long to Stay for
You can stay in a guesthouse with either private or shared rooms in Theth. There are also a few campsites if you’re planning on camping in the area. We suggest booking somewhere with breakfast included because Albanian breakfasts are amazing and very filling. Trying fresh local food was one of our favourite things to do in Theth apart from the incredible scenery.
Most people stay maybe a night in Theth, especially if they have just completed the Valbona to Theth hike. This is understandable, especially if you have a limited time in the country and wish to see other places. If that’s the case, you can still see the highlights of the village after your hike and perhaps hike to Grunas Waterfall super early the next morning before your transport back to Shkoder.
We generally recommend staying at least 2 nights to get the most out of your visit. There’s a lot of beautiful things to do in Theth and even just the hike to the Blue Eye would take up most of a day. Not to mention if you’d also like to hike some parts of the Valbona Pass.
Best Time to Visit Theth
It’s good to know that the road to Theth can be closed during the winter months due to heavy snowfall. The Valbona Pass is also closed in the winter months. So, it’s best to plan a trip to this mountain paradise somewhere between May and October.
We read that even in May and at the start of June the hiking trails can be closed due to snow and bad weather. So, do your research and check the latest weather related updates before you book your trip in the shoulder season.
