Albania Alps with a 4×4 Roof Tent – Our Honest Experience

If you’ve ever dreamed of escaping the crowds and heading deep into the wild, Albania Alps with 4×4 is the road trip you didn’t know you needed. This northern region of Albania, known for its jagged peaks, hidden valleys, and slow-living mountain villages, is best explored with a rugged vehicle and the freedom to camp wherever the view feels right.

With a 4×4 and a roof tent, you’re not tied to hotels or fixed plans. You’re free to chase the sunrise over Lëpushë, picnic in Vermosh, and sleep under the stars — all while surrounded by some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the Balkans.

Mountains. Silence. Wild rivers. Friendly locals. Some of the roads were bumpy, sure — but that’s what made it all real.

Road Trip Itinerary: From Tirana to Lëpushë and Vermosh

Stop 1: Shkodra – Your Gateway to the Alps

From Tirana, drive north to Shkodra, a charming city that mixes culture and nature. Grab supplies here, walk along the lake promenade, or visit Rozafa Castle.

Tip: Book your 4×4 camper in advance with Camp Drive Rentalbania and arrange pick-up in Tirana or Shkodra.

 Stop 2: Lëpushë – Camping in Alpine Paradise

The road to Lëpushë is where the adventure truly begins. Twisting mountain routes, river crossings, and remote villages await. Lëpushë is ideal for wild camping, surrounded by alpine meadows, pine forests, and absolute silence.

4×4 Tip: Use low gear through the gravel sections. Roof tents let you camp anywhere safe and flat — no need for a hotel!

 Stop 3: Vermosh – Northernmost Village in Albania

Vermosh is postcard-perfect: stone houses, mountain peaks, and scenic views in every direction. The locals are warm and welcoming, and there are beautiful hiking trails nearby.

You can camp by the river or near the pine forests — just make sure to respect nature and leave no trace.
