Albania – Shkodra Kayak City (WW III-IV)

1.200,00 

Shkodra Kayak City! Toros Outdoors was the first canoe school to open up the blue-clear river pearls in northern Albania as part of guided tours. Well over a hundred paddlers have accompanied us on Cemi, Kir and Dushit since 2015, wobbling into the lonely Shala Valley in the off-road vehicles and letting the morning sun over the Valbona tickle them awake after starry nights. What has remained over the years is the magnificent white water of the rivers flowing to the Adriatic. Come on board!

Delivery time: 1-3 days

The most beautiful rivers in Albania? Clearly in the north of the small country! From the Prokletije Mountains, several turquoise streams flow into lonely mountain valleys towards the Adriatic. They surround the city of Shkodra in a semicircle, making it the perfect kayak city!

We spend the days on the river stages of Cemi, Cijevna, Dushit, Kir and Valbona. Here, technical slalom courses entice you through large bouldering gardens in front of a panorama that is in no way inferior to the Dolomites. The difficulties range from white water II to demanding routes with the fourth level of difficulty. So we'll be sure to find the right sections for you!

We spend the night a quarter of an hour's drive from the city directly on the beautiful Lake Shkodra. In the evening there is delicious food in the nearby town or we stay at the camp, take care of ourselves and go to the local restaurant. And there are campfires at the Albanian soca, the Valbona. Promised!
