Route overview
Most itineraries use Radomire, Junik, and Valbonë as the key access bases for Korab, Gjeravica, and Zla Kolata, with summit days linked by transfers rather than one continuous trail. Arrivals from the UK usually begin with london -> tirana or skopje, then overland cross-border support before the route moves on between the mountain bases.
Why travellers choose this trip
Balkan Three Peaks Challenge is a trekking itinerary running over 7 days with a high point around 2,764 metres and a difficult grading.
Three named summits, multiple mountain bases, and a route that lets you experience very different terrain and mountain atmosphere within one trip.
