Trekking trip
Dream paths in the Western Balkans and the Himalayas
Your destinations
The Trail Angels offer “Customized Trekking” in these selected destinations: Western Balkans, Nepal and Ladakh. There are two good reasons for this: Firstly, these three magnificent trekking regions offer you almost inexhaustible opportunities for exactly the hiking adventure you have always longed for. And secondly, because it is precisely in these destinations that our top trekking experts know their way around like no one else. Because this is the necessary prerequisite to be able to provide you with optimal support in planning your dream trip. And we’ll be honest: If you have another destination in mind for your trekking trip, it’s better to contact one of our competitors.
Western Balkans
Trekking on the High Scardus Trail: Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia
A well-kept secret is slowly being revealed: behind the many white spots in the Western Balkans are magnificent natural landscapes – coupled with hospitality that is second to none. The High Scardus Trail, which runs through the mountains between North Macedonia, Albania and Kosovo, which are hardly developed for tourism, is the newest star among long-distance hiking trails and was co-developed by the Trail Angels. We have known the region like the back of our hand for two decades and are planning your ideal High Scardus Trail trip for you, because the region offers an incredible number of options!

Whether moderate or demanding; whether adventurous in a tent or more comfortable in lodges. We are sure that we will work with you to tailor your ideal Himalayan trekking.

Ladakh
Trekking in the highlands between the Himalayas and Karakoram
The fascinatingly wild highlands of Ladakh in northern India connect the world’s two highest mountains, the Himalayas and the Karakoram. Located at the intersection of three world religions and on the legendary Silk Road, Ladakh combines a magnificent mountain landscape with a rich culture visible in the form of impressive monastery castles. Large parts of the country are still hardly visited and this opens up inexhaustible prospects for true voyages of discovery.

Günter Mussnig
TRAIL ANGELS CO-FOUNDER & HIMALAYAN VETERAN
The geographer and co-founder of the Trail Angels has traveled to the Himalayas more than twenty times in the past 30 years. Whether as an expedition leader in the Wild West of Nepal, with touring skis on wintry six-thousand-meter peaks, on the trail of the snow leopard in the Annapurna region or for an electrification project in the mountain villages of Ladakh: the Himalayas have become a second home for Günter, without fulfilling his longing for new landscapes to explore the great mountains of Asia, ever can be satisfied.

Stefan Lieb-Lind
Trail Scout & Mountain & Ski Guide (IVBV)
Stefan Lieb-Lind has completed the highest possible training in mountain sports in the world as a state-certified mountain and ski guide and works as a trail developer for the Trail Angels. A perfect job for him because he loves nothing more than exploring. This passion has also taken him privately to many countries, where he has made 120 first ascents of rock and ice to date – he is also the co-author of four mountain books. In addition to Nepal, the Western Balkans are his absolute passion. Here he has known every fox by name for two decades and can give you the best insider tips for your dream trek.
