Llogara Pass & National Park

ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE

The Llogara pass is the mountain gate of the Albanian Riviera: the SH8 climbs from the bay through the national park of the same name to a 1,027 m saddle, then unwinds in famous hairpins toward the coast at Dhërmi. From the pass the whole southern Riviera is visible at once — the Ceraunian ridge, the coastline’s curves toward Himarë and Sarandë, and on clear days Corfu on the horizon. The park protects old pine and fir forest, mascot deer and eagles, and the pass area offers walking trails, a mountain hotel and one of Europe’s best paragliding launches.
