This 4 km long singletrack trail has natural mountainous terrain, offering excellent conditions for mountain biking. It's fast and technical with mixed terrain—grass, dirt, rocks, natural jumps, and tight turns—which can make certain sections challenging.

The Shutri Trail is fully signposted along its entire length and remains open in very good condition for a long period of the year, from March until the end of November. Access to the trailhead can be done either by pedalling or by using a personal 4x4 vehicle. The total length of the route is approximately 11 km. 

History of the trail’s development:

bigquotesThis trail runs along a hilltop ridge and shepherds have used it for years with their livestock. At the same time, it is very well suited for mountain biking. During 2023, together with three friends of mine (members of the mountain biking community in Albania and Kosovo), we included this trail in a project called “Bike on Bus.”

This project enables the transport of bicycles on the public bus line to the mountainous area of Tirana where this trail is located, about one hour from the city center. The project involved mounting bicycles on a rack installed at the rear of the bus. This made it easier not only for those who want to visit the area by mountain bike but also for local residents to use bicycles without needing to take a car into the city for daily activities. The Shutri Trail was included as part of this project.

We made the necessary improvements, such as cleaning and shaping the trail to create favorable conditions for mountain biking, and installed signage and trail markers along its entire length.

      Marks (blue dots) in the first section of the trails either not existent / not maintained or very difficult to find even with the gpx track.
      Multiple lines / dense vegetation making it hard to ride and thorns puncture your tires.
      Can’t recommend riding it rn.
      Only the lower parts are fun.

      Update trail 26.04.2026
      To start with, to reach the beginning of the trail, I would recommend “Access to Shutri Trail #2”, as it’s slightly easier to pedal compared to the climb via “Access to Shutri Trail #1”. 🥵

      If you continue the climb from “Access to Shutri Trail #2”, once you enter the line of the first segment leading to the start, you’ll notice that the trail has been widened and turned into a double-track off-road section, making it even easier to ride.

      I would suggest starting from “Gropa e Julit”, a small pit located on the left side of the trail, about 100 meters before the start.
      This is because the final section leading to the start is occasionally blocked by a person who doesn’t like people passing near his house, even though the segment is public. Usually, it’s not an issue, but sometimes he blocks the trail with logs.

      As for the second segment, it remains in very good condition, except for a few small sections where some branches have broken due to winter frost. Additionally, in some parts there are small thorny bushes, but nothing problematic.

      Very fun trail. Feels like natural roller coaster. Blue dots mark the way. Beginner and advanced riders can find their joy here!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
