Albania Motorcycle Tour Through the Albanian Alps

Your Albania motorcycle tour starts near Graz and takes you, as a guided Balkan motorcycle trip, through seven countries of South-East Europe. This Croatia, Montenegro and Albania motorcycle tour combines highway stages with narrow mountain roads and suits riders who want to cover plenty of kilometers on their own motorcycle. A German-speaking guide accompanies the group daily, from the morning briefing to dinner at handpicked accommodations. This tour is designed for 10 days and 3,000 kilometers, for frequent riders with medium-to-high experience. Off you go through Slovenia toward the Balkans.

Highlights

Albanian Alps Curves

Your Albania motorcycle tour winds through the Albanian Alps: narrow pass roads, tight switchbacks and views of rugged peaks define the stages between Shkodra and Peshkopi — a dream for experienced riders on their own motorcycle.

Koman Lake Ferry Ride

Weather permitting, the legendary Koman reservoir ferry is on the program: threading between towering rock walls, you travel deep into Albania's hinterland — an experience on the water that barely any other tour offers.

Berat, the Museum City

The highlight of this Berat motorcycle tour is the City of a Thousand Windows: a museum city since 1961 and part of the UNESCO World Heritage, Berat casts its spell during an evening stroll before the group's shared dinner.

Albanian Riviera Saranda

This stage of the Saranda Albanian Riviera motorcycle tour leads to a horseshoe-shaped bay between olive groves and the Ionian Sea. After the ferry crossing, fresh seafood awaits the group along the waterfront promenade.

Adriatic Coast at Neum

Opening this Adriatic coastal road motorcycle tour, the stage runs from Graz through Slovenia and Croatia to the Bosnian town of Neum, where Mediterranean cuisine and the first glimpse of the sea reward the long ride in.
