Monique
Asked on November 12th, 2025How challenging is the hiking? How long are the transfers to each hike or hotel? (Driving time) Is the luggage transported or must we carry back with more than daily items?Interested in private room for 2 on trip- would that apply to guesthouses and huts?
Choose BalkansOperator•Written November 2025This is consider a moderate to intensive trail. You will be carrying your belongings with you during the trek so we recommend you pack lightly. For any excess luggage you will need to book excess luggage transportation or pre arrange luggage storage in Tirana. Luggage transportation during the tour might be possible depending on availability for an additional fee of minimum 880€ (one person) or €440 per person for groups.

Monique
Traveler•Written November 2025Although I enjoy trekking, I am not keen on backpacking with more than a day pack for that length of time otherwise I sounds like an exciting adventure.
- Choose BalkansOperator•Written November 2025
We can certainly arrange bag transportation, so you'll only need to carry a day pack during the hike. Bags transportation during the tour might be possible depending on availability for an additional fee of €440 per person x 2 pax = 880 euro
