Sports and Outdoor activities in Albania

In a mountainous country with a long coastline, the main attractions are pretty obvious – there are some delightful places to swim along the Ionian coast, while the most accessible hiking is in the national park area of Mount Dajti. More adventurous activities are thin on the ground, with a monopoly of sorts held by Outdoor Albania (04 222 7121, www.outdooralbania.com), an adventurous young team that can organize treks and ski-shoeing trips, or more high-octane fun such as rafting and paragliding.
