Balkan 3 Peaks - 18th July 2026
Leader: Chris Brook
20th July 2026 - Via Alpine Meadows & Persllopit Pass to Montenegro's Highest Summit
6am breakfast and a 7am start today for the team as they head for the lowest and most technical peak. A savage start saw them traversing before a rise up to the first col. From there, they headed right, and up some short scrambling sections to the peak, where amazing views across the Balkans awaited. They retraced their steps to the col for the long downhill to the accommodation for a well earned rest.
19th July 2026 - Komani Lake
After a 6am start to catch the ferry, the team sailed along Komani lake to the start of their hike. Only 6km today to get to the accommodation, ready for their first full day tomorrow.
18th July 2026 - Tirana to Shkoder
The team left Tirana for Shkoder, the gateway to the Balkan 3 peaks. A 3-hour bus ride, lunch and relaxing by the lake before the long travel day into the mountains tomorrow.
