You pull away from Tirana with gravel under the tires and the first high ridges of the Albanian Alps rising like a wall ahead. Olive groves give way to steep pasture and raw limestone faces; the road tightens into switchbacks and later into the single-track traces only a 4x4 will relish. Over seven days the route threads Krujë’s stone fortress, the Venetian-mask workshops of Shkodër, the blue spring at Theth, the boat ferry on Lake Koman, and the alpine bowl of Valbona Valley.
