Bovilla Lake

Hiking in Tirana, in one of the most picturesque areas where the deep blue of the lake is mixed with the grey of the rocks and green of the Flora around the area. Located around 15 Kilometres from Tirana, this artificial Lake is one of the main suppliers of drinkable water in Tirana. With a spectacular surrounding arena, the terrain is compounded also by 4 areas of fauna and vegetation.

   Absolutely AMAZING. Traveling as a solo female I was looking for day tours out of Tirana, specifically North Macedonia and Kosovo. This was perfect. Reasonable prices for small tours, hotel... read more pick up, personable, great English, extremely knowledgeable, flexible, everything you  could ask for. Andi was absolutely fantastic and when I come back to Albania he’s the first one I’ll contact! Just call/whatsapp the number and they’ll get back to you in a very reasonable time. …

   The tour started a little bit early so we could get out of Tirana's Traffic. It was really interesting to visit the Newest Country in the world and discover that... read more it had  such an old history . My guide was very nice and very knowledgeable too, I had so many questions as a curious nature I am and he didn't even hesitated  to reply sometimes with a thin sense of humor.

   Me and my boyfriend really enjoyed cooking class with Sindi, we learned about local food which is actually very tasty and tried nice homemade wine. Definitely worth trying experience

What to Expect

The hike around lake Bovilla and Gamti mountain is divided into two main parts. The first part starting from the lake is characterized by a slow, low gradient ascending. For the hikers with less experience and not in the best fitness conditions usually, the journey ends before getting to the peak of Gamti.

Continuing to the peak the trail will get quite steep and narrow, but the view totally worthy while reaching the top.

Maximum Altitude for the Easy Hike 620 m
Time for the Easy Hike - 40 minutes
Maximum Altitude for the Long Hike - 1246 m
Around 3 hours hike to the peak

Itinerary

Tirana to Bovilla Lake

We will start at 9:00 with Hotel Pick Up and driving toward Bovilla Lake, located around a 20 Km drive from Tirana. The Trail toward the Gamti peak starts near the level of the lake. Depends on the physical conditions, we will decide to complete the long trail to the peak or the shorter one to the “Balcony of Bovilla” offering spectacular views of the lake.

Free time for lunch in one of the Local Farm-style restaurants with stunning views of the lake.
