Our multi-day hike and rock climbing trip in the Albanian mountains with Erind was unforgettable! He guided us through stunning landscapes, shared insights about nature and culture, and arranged nice accommodations with fresh local food. The entire tour was customized to our schedule, the season, and our interests—perfect from valley to summit
Eli Faid
We had the pleasure of hiking a section of the Peaks of the Balkan Trail in 2022 with Erind as our guide, and it was an unforgettable experience. Erind ensured we felt safe and well-paced, all while sharing fascinating insights and guiding us through the stunning landscape. Valleys, ice axes, rock climbing, chilling by the fire, you name it...
Thibault
Their deep local knowledge, mountaineering skills, and connections in the region made every moment special, from sipping raki with locals to enjoying shepherd cheese in the alpine meadows. Traveling with Backcountry Albania felt authentic, and Erind’s thoughtful guiding ensured everyone had a great time. Highly recommended!
Rosalie Hermans
Erind was an incredible guide to us on our climb of Mt Jezerca. He was technically excellent, pushed us in a motivating way - and kept things very safe when conditions got challenging. We can’t wait for another adventure guided by Erind.”
