Swimming & Water in Valbona

💡 Quick Tips

• 1.The best dog swimming spot is the wide gravel bank 300 m south of Valbona village; the river braids into multiple shallow channels safe for all dog sizes.
• 2.The river rises fast after afternoon thunderstorms in summer; avoid swimming within 2 hours of a storm upstream.
• 3.Water temperature stays 12-16°C all summer; many dogs swim happily but bring a towel as wet dogs in mountain evenings can get cold quickly.
