Butterfly Outdoor Adventure is proud to be one of the pioneering companies offering mountain tours in Kosovo. Founded by Uta Ibrahimi, a UIAA and UIMLA-certified guide, Uta made history as the first Albanian to summit Everest and has successfully climbed 13 of the 14 peaks over 8,000 meters.
As trailblazers in the industry, Butterfly Outdoor Adventure was the first company to guide notable journalists from prestigious publications such as National Geographic and Lonely Planet in Kosovo. Over the years, Uta and her team have played a vital role in developing key hiking routes, including the High Scardus Trail and the Via Dinarica Kosovo. Additionally, we are part of the Trans Dinarica trail, a biking route that connects Kosovo with other regions of the Balkans.
In addition to hiking and biking, we offer ski touring experiences in Kosovo, Albania, and Macedonia, as well as cat skiing in Macedonia in partnership with Shar Outdoor. Our commitment is to provide unforgettable outdoor adventures while showcasing the natural beauty of the region.
To ensure more efficient trips we work with smaller groups of people, so everybody can make a connection with each other and build a unique bond.
The professional team will guide you to explore some of the hidden gems in the most dedicated and friendly way.
The Balkans are filled with natural and cultural wonders that have yet to reach the eyes of foreigners. It is our duty to introduce you to them.
Serge M2022-01-16Best organised trip We discovered a beautiful country with the best guide we ever had for our holiday. For us it was the best organised trip with a nice program , a mix of culture and nature. We discovered beautiful mountains, lakes, via ferrata and charming cities. Thx Uta for the experience we discovered with you and Metodi. Serge Nancy, Robbe and YentlGeert De Paep2022-01-16Perfect organization! We visited Kosovo in Sep 2021 with Uta of Butterfly Outdoor Adventure. It was excellent! We were together for a whole week and everything was organized so well by her (which is ideal in a country where you don't speak the local language and english is not very known). We hiked 2 mountains under guidance of Uta (incl Gjeravica). We did via ferrata and visited several cities, villages and local people. Such an active program (completely matching our wishes) we could never have created without the help of BOA. I can really recommend BOA: perfect organization and you will be in good hands!Mark R2022-01-08Great experience with BOA and Uta Went on a fantastic day hike up Sharr Mountain with Uta, an extremely helpful and knowledgeable guide and which made for a great trip. Will definitely book other hikes with BOA the next time I'm visiting this beautiful part of the world!RM2022-01-06A great adventure. BOA can give you rewarding hiking adventures, which are based on the guide's personal international experience, and show you a great time. You can also be adventurous on your bike, or on your skis and BOA will guide you all the way.Dardan Krasniqi2022-01-06Fun, Safe and Warm I do a lot of hiking around Kosovo's mountains myself but i've also tried hiking with Butterfly Outdoor Adventure, and i highly recommend it to everyone. Other than having the knowledge around these mountains and their stories as well as how to properly climb them it was also a very fun and welcoming enviroment to be in which i thoroughly enjoyed :)Ken T2022-01-05Walking in Kosovo I have been guided on a number of mountain walks, in Kosovo, by Uta. She is hugely knowledgeable about the country. Most importantly she has the ability to listen to what you want and plans the trip according to your needs and abilities. Despite being a hugely experienced and capable climber and outdoors person, I have never felt left behind or set unreasonable objectives. She is also very professional, especially in respect of the group's safety. But above all she is fun company and a pleasure to walk with whilst appreciating Kosovo's beautiful mountains.Coffeehigh2022-01-05Go-to-choice in Kosovo for experience, professionalism and atmosphere Over the last couple of years, Butterfly Outdoors has been my go-to-choice, whether for long-planned, challenging excursions, last-minute Sunday hikes with friends, drawn out trail runs, or ski tours. My husband and I both enjoy hiking and are quite happy to find our own way on a map, but we much prefer going on a trip with Uta and her team even in the summer, let alone in the winter (when the mountains of Kosovo can remind you of the unpredictability and grandeur of nature!). We always feel safe with Uta - she asks us every time what we are looking for, tailors the trip to our needs (for example with regard to requested length, altitude, and 'wow' effect), didn't bat an eyelid when we asked to turn back before we reached the peak on one occasion, but similarly showed us how well prepared she was in terms of having the route mapped out on GPS, with an emergency call on hand, a first aid and avalanche kit in her backpack, and always enough food and water. We like her approach to sustainability - picking up rubbish along the way, supporting local businesses, and promoting tourism in Kosovo and the region. She knows Kosovo (and North Macedonia and Albania) inside out, is so obviously passionate about the mountains it's contagious, and it's always fun and insightful to go on a trip with her. I would wholeheartedly recommend BOA to anybody wishing to experience the outdoors across the Balkans.Edona E2022-01-05Hiking & Camping experience Unforgettable experience of hiking, great accommodation, super nights & days in the mountains.
