“Experiencing this amazing valley on skis, in waders and in a kayak brings you closer to nature and realization how complete she is. Valbona river is the vein of the valley, the essence, as she transports all information from the highest of peaks to the lush forests right at the bottom of it. She makes sure the cycle keeps on going like it was in the last millions of years. Local people have always acknowledged that in many legends and cherished her flows but now new age of money dwelling leaders set their feet in this eden, trying to take advantage of this same invigorating flow. It is time to […]
Sometimes, it’s easier to look on the bright side – to focus on beauty and clear water, wild rapids and wildlife – than it is to stare straight at a garbage-clogged tributary, or concrete filled river. In Greece, we were exposed to remote and absolutely breathtaking canyons. But as we traveled north, this kind of untouched wilderness was harder to find, as the people of Albania struggle to carve out a life in a developing country. Passing hydro dams on the highway our minds were quickly distracted by another stunning view – vistas of towering mountains, trees, rocks, and water. But the dry riverbeds became more frequent, and the pipes […]
After one week in Greece, it feels like we have seen only a fraction of the snow and whitewater that the Pindus Mountains have to offer. Full days were spent exploring and ski touring in the Lakmos and Smolikas Mountains. We found tons of late season snow and a combination of stunning/challenging terrain and mellow turns. We paddled deep into the gorges of the Voidomatis, walked beside the construction site of new dam on the Metsovitikos and portaged over an old, abandoned dam on the Aoos. Slowing down to wade into the green water of the remote canyons of the Arachthos and Kalaritkos to fly fish, we have further confirmed […]
After Soča source-to-sea descent the crew boarded the ferry and after 2 nights on the big boat we have just landed in Greece. The 3 weeks of exploring one of the most stunning regions in the world can now begin – we will be searching for hidden valleys in Greece, Albania and Montenegro that can provide ski touring, kayaking and fly fishing in a single day. Stay tuned and follow our adventures on our webpage and social media. Wohoooo! Breakfast time gipsy style. Photo by: Andraz FB The crew enjoys the sunset, like in a movie.

Wow, these 4 days were a blast. Beautiful mountains, sunny weather, crystal clear waters of Soča and one amazing crew showing respect and support to the wild river first 2 days and then exposing the dam affected flow last 2 days. Lots of paddling, conversation, laughs and deep thoughts accompanied us during the day while nights were packed with great music, beers and some staggering dance moves 😉 We reached the goal – we had fun, put pressure on the decision makers & SENG, got into media and reached the sea in a big group. No new dams and time to say so long to old ones! Big thanks to everybody involved […]
