This is the quad and ATV ride people mean when they search for quad biking near Tirana. Our journey kicks off at our base camp, nestled in a charming village on the road that climbs from Tirana up to Lake Bovilla.
Following a quick safety induction, you'll gear up, jump onto your ATV, and embark on an exciting 40-minute off-road trek along spectacular mountain tracks. We'll pause at Lake Bovilla to snap some beautiful photos and admire the stunning panoramas.
Next, we take a 10-minute ride uphill to reach the main mountain restaurant and panoramic overlook. Here, you will have a full hour of leisure time to explore the surroundings at your own pace:
• Unwind at the restaurant and enjoy local drinks or snacks
• Take a brief 10-minute hike up to the observation deck for spectacular, sweeping views of the lake
• Wander through the nearby natural park and breathe in the crisp mountain air
Once the group is ready, we'll begin the 45-minute return trip along the same scenic trail, stopping for extra photos and videos to capture the memories of your adventure.
Quads are shared two per bike at €45 per person, or ridden solo (one person per bike) for €65 per person.
Before you book: read our honest take on whether Lake Bovilla is worth visiting, check the getting there guide, and skim our practical tips. And if you'd rather hike than ride, see the Mount Gamti trail guide.
