Albanian Alps

Albania - Essential Albania

The National Parks of Thethi, Valbona, and the Region of Kelmendi are widely recognised as the top destinations for mountain tourism in the Albanian Alps.

The “Accursed Mountains” are breathtaking, but navigating them can be challenging, with only a handful of high passes linking isolated farmsteads and homes to the outside world during summer. The Valbona River Valley, situated in the eastern region of the Albanian Alps, is a magnificent natural wonder that spans over 8,000 hectares and has been designated a national park. It is considered one of the most picturesque spots in Albania, located about 22 km from the alpine city of Bajram Curri. The Shoshan spring (vrellen) is another must-see attraction, located just 3 km from Bajram Curri before entering the valley.
