Fierzë to Valbonë transfer

Between Fierzë and Valbonë, through the Albanian Alps

The classic northern Albania route — Shkodër, the Lake Koman ferry, Fierzë, and on to Valbonë — has one awkward gap: the mountain road between Fierzë and Valbonë valley, where buses are rare and timetables vanish. Hotel Raja fills it with a simple, reliable door-to-door car transfer for €55, in either direction.

It's the same trip travellers search for as "Valbonë to Koman" or "Fierzë to Valbonë transfer" — and because we're based at the Fierzë end, right where the boats land, we can time the car to your ferry so the two legs actually join up instead of leaving you stranded at the port.

Where it connects

• To the Koman ferry: we meet the Lake Koman crossing at Fierzë and drive you up to Valbonë.
• From Valbonë: we bring you down to Fierzë in time for the boat across Lake Koman toward Koman and Shkodër.
• For hikers: Valbonë is a main trailhead for the Peaks of the Balkans and the famous Valbonë–Theth walk. Our transfer is the easy way onto, or off, the Albanian side of the route.

The drive

The journey takes around 1.5 to 2 hours depending on road conditions, climbing through some of the most dramatic scenery in the Albanian Alps. It's a comfortable, direct ride — no changes, no waiting for a minibus to fill up.

Make it a full trip

Many guests combine the transfer with a night at the hotel and a boat tour: cross Lake Koman to Fierzë, stay at Hotel Raja, take the Shala River boat tour in the morning, then transfer up to Valbonë to start hiking. Tell us your plan on WhatsApp and we'll piece the timings together.
