The snow isolates Thethi valley

Due to a long and harsh winter, the beautiful Valley of Theth continues to be blocked by the snow from December until now.

Currently the main road that goes through Qafe e Thores, at an altitude of 1750 m, is blocked in its 7-8 km. The responsible institutions never cleaned it during these months, and now the road has over 3 meters of snow along the entire length of this segment.

Usually at the beginning of May, Thethi was ready to receive the first tourists from all over the world, but this year, although the requests have started from Albanian and foreign visitors, Thethi guesthouses have difficulty to start the season due to the road.

So far there is no information or announcement from the responsible or dependent institutions for the opening of this vital segment for the development of mountain tourism in the heart of the Albanian Alps, in Theth. It is not clear when we can have this road open again (until the end of May !!!)

Unfortunately this destroys the plans of dozens of tourists willing to travel to this area and damages the local economy by not being able to get organized with the guesthouses for the start of the season after a long pandemic year of Covid-19.

For this reason even the hiking tours starting or connecting with Thethi, as the trail Valbona – Theth, are impossible to be realized.

As soon as we have news we will publish them here again.
