Quad bike tour to Bovilla Lake
Our most-booked tour - three hours to the Bovilla Lake viewpoint and back.
About this experience
Our most-booked ride and the reason most guests find us in the first place.
Three hours from our base in ZallHerr, out through village roads and up the rocky mountain tracks to the Bovilla restaurant - the gateway to one of the most photographed spots in the region. You'll start on the quiet roads through Zall-Herr, then leave the village behind and climb into open mountain terrain.
Rocky tracks, wide ridge views, and after about 45 minutes on the quads you reach the Bovilla restaurant, high above the reservoir. From there, you have an hour to choose your own moment: hike up to the mountain viewpoint over the turquoise water of Bovilla - Tirana's drinking water and the view most guests come here for - or stay at the restaurant for a drink or light food.
Or both. Then we ride back the way we came.
The tour works well for first-timers. No riding experience needed - we give a full safety briefing at base before we head out.
The trails aren't technical, but they're real off-road, so expect dust in summer and mud after rain. That's part of the ride.
Good pick if you want the classic Bovilla experience in one morning or afternoon, without committing to a full day. If you want to extend into a longer trip with a BBQ back at base, see our Bovilla + BBQ tour.
