Hikers wanted for 10-day trek on the Peaks of the Balkans in spring 2020

Patsportif50 · 2020-01-19

Hi, I'm looking for experienced hikers to join me on the Peaks of the Balkans (Albania, Montenegro) for a 10-day trek this spring. I already have the full itinerary planned.

Luna, I don’t have an exact date yet. Available in the spring, summer at the latest depending on my annual leave, obviously. Otherwise, I was thinking about Norway. I’ll send you the link for the Peaks of the Balkans: https://www.dubuis.net/aventures/peaks-of-the-balkans or there’s also the Lyon Alpine Club that did a trek in Norway—we could just follow their route. Norway might be a bit easier, I think. The Peaks really tempt me, though—it’d be ideal to do it with a group. Have a good evening!

Hello, I’m interested in your Peaks of the Balkans proposal. I’m planning to be in Montenegro during the last two weeks of May. Don’t hesitate to let me know if you’re still up for it!

Hello, I’m interested in this kind of trek. I haven’t finalized my vacation time yet, but it could be from mid-July to mid-August. Would those dates work for you? Thanks, Lolo

Hi Lolomas, it’s not possible for me to take time off spanning two months. Do you have other vacation options (March, April, May, June, August)? I’m also considering Réunion, Norway, and a bit of France. Have a good evening! Patricia

Hi Patricia, With the lockdown, I imagine your trek was canceled? If not, could you tell me where you started the trek? Was it easy to get to the starting point? Thanks for your reply! Philippe

Hi there, I’ve changed my plans due to Covid. I’m hiking the GR54 starting June 28 and my trip ends on July 12. If you’re interested, don’t hesitate to reach out... Laurent

Hey,

Honestly, it was a great experience this trek. Pretty physical since I carried my food for 10 days and my camping gear—without all those extra pounds, it would’ve been even cooler.

I put together a day-by-day breakdown if you're interested: backpackerdudimanche.com/peaks-of-the-balkans/

Lots of info with daily elevation gains, kilometers, great tips, and more.
