Journey Highlights on the Summit Route

The experience begins early at 5:00 AM from Castle Park Hotel or your accommodation in Berat. After meeting your guide, you travel by SUV along remote mountain roads for about 1.5 hours until you reach the starting point of the route.

From there, a 2.5‑hour section on horseback carries you deeper into the wild landscape of Mount Tomorr. The horses help you save energy and allow you to focus on the views, the changing light, and the pure mountain atmosphere.

After tying the horses, the hiking section continues on foot for roughly 3.5 hours up toward the summit. The terrain is rocky and uneven, rewarding you with expanding views over valleys, lakes, and distant cities. Your guide sets a steady pace and checks in frequently so the group stays comfortable.

At the High Point of Mount Tomorr

Near the summit, you reach around 2417 meters above sea level. Here, the air feels crisp and fresh, and the scenery opens in every direction. On clear days, you can see far across central and southern Albania. Stories about the sacred nature of Mount Tomorr and its role in local traditions add a deeper layer to the experience.

On the way back, you retrace part of the route, meeting the horses again and continuing to a picnic spot where fresh local food is served. This meal feels especially rewarding after such a full day of effort.
