Tips

September 25, 2026

Hiking

From the steel balcony atop Mount Gamti, you have a spectacular view over the turquoise Bovilla Lake, the steep karst walls, and the deep canyon below. The platform literally hangs over the abyss, making the panorama extra impressive. The metal staircase forms the last short climb; at the top, an open, airy spot awaits with a clear view of the entire reservoir.
Access is free, and the balcony is the iconic endpoint of the short hike from the Bovilla restaurant.

Hiking

At the summit, you are greeted with sweeping, uninterrupted views of the entire reservoir and the sprawling green valleys below. On a clear day, the line of sight extends to the eastern flank of Dajti and, faintly, the foothills approaching Krujë. Mount Gamti itself rises to roughly 1,268 m; the trail tops out at the Balcony of Bovilla viewpoint at about 620 m, some 160 m above the trailhead.
