Albania's Mediterranean climate offers a variety of hiking experiences. Winter (December to February) can be quite cold with snow in mountainous regions, while coastal areas stay milder. Hikers should be prepared for icy conditions in higher terrains.
Spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) bring mild and wet conditions, excellent for hiking, offering lush landscapes and pleasant temperatures. However, hikers should consider potential rain and muddy trails.
Summer (June to August) can get hot, especially in lowlands and coastal regions, but the mountains offer a cooler retreat. The best hiking period is arguably late spring to early fall. For more information on weather and trail conditions, visit
