Albania Quest is the next chapter in the Quest Series, the ultimate off-road navigation events in the Balkans. After Bosnia and Montenegro, in 2027 the adventure moves to Albania – a country of raw contrasts still waiting to be discovered. From the sacred peak of Mount Tomorr and the dramatic depths of the Osum Canyon, across remote highland villages, to the Ottoman old town of Berat, the “City of a Thousand Windows.”
Like every Quest, Albania Quest is a navigational and strategic gathering, where teams (3–6 riders) use GPS and .gpx coordinates to find hidden routes and reach the most unforgettable and dramatic landscapes of their lives. The more coordinates you conquer, the more awe-inspiring locations you will discover. And that is where the true magic of this event lies.
The focus is on team spirit, adventure and connecting with the local community. The journey will take you over mountain passes, through ancient forests and along mighty canyons, all within a safe environment, supported by tracking devices and the organizer’s safety and technical assistance.
Albania Quest 2027 is designed for Adventure Enduro, Hard Enduro and Dual Sport riders who seek more than just riding – they seek a Quest.
Wild mountains, forgotten trails and a culture that still greets strangers as guests. From our base you can reach a riding area of around 10,000 km², an enormous slice of central Albania packed with natural wonders as the rocky Tomorr massif and its national park, the deep Osum Canyon and Bogovë waterfalls, the wild Vjosa river valley, the Lengarica canyon and Bënjë thermal springs near Përmet, the highland lakes of Skrapar and the Dumre district, the eastern forests of Shebenik National Park, and all the way west to the Adriatic lagoons of Divjaka-Karavasta and ancient sites like Apollonia and Byllis.
Our home for Albania Quest 2027 is the city of Berat and our base camp is Hotel Colombo ★★★★★, set against the backdrop of the UNESCO-listed old town. All loops start and finish here, which means every morning you ride out into the Albanian wilderness and every evening you come back to a five-star hotel. One base, one vibe and a whole region to explore from your doorstep.
A carefully designed program keeps the perfect balance between riding, relaxing and connecting with fellow adventurers. We offer an additional day of riding for all that want a slow start of the Quest – it is called the RIDE OUT.
Albania Quest unlocks a genuinely huge playground: around 10,000 km² of riding area out from a single base. Every route is designed as a loop that starts and ends at camp, so you can ride one per day, combine several, or create your own daily plan. Loops range from short and scenic to up to 300 km for teams chasing the far corners of the region. All tracks have been personally tested, ridden and marked with Quest Series Codes, set at the most breathtaking locations across the whole area.
Because the area is so large, no single day and no single edition, can cover it all. That’s the point: there are always more canyons, passes, rivers and villages to discover than you can reach in one Quest.
Each participant receives a .gpx and physical map with everything needed to navigate. Difficulty levels are mentioned in the briefings during the event and the most technical sections are highlighted so you can prepare for or avoid them.
Albania Quest rewards preparation. With loops running up to 300 km through remote terrain, both your motorcycle and your riding level make the difference between an epic ride and a hard day out. Here’s what you’ll need to get the most out of the adventure.
