50 Shades of Green

A day of pure, perfect nature

About the Journey

Two countries, one journey: the wild Albanian Alps and the mountain reserves of Montenegro, glacial lakes, turquoise rivers, rafting and a zipline over the Tara Canyon.

The journey begins in untouched Albania, Theth, the Blue Eye, Lake Koman and the Valbona Valley, and continues to the jewel in the Balkan crown: the Durmitor mountains, the Tara Canyon and the Biogradska Gora reserve.
