Prime Minister Edi Rama shared breathtaking images of Mount Nemerçka today. The mountain glows in autumn colors in the heart of southern Albania.

Mount Nemerçka has become one of the most popular mountain tourism destinations in recent years.

“Autumn views from Mount Nemerçka, in the heart of southern Albania, between the calm of Përmet and the grace of the Vjosa River,” wrote Rama as he posted a video on social media.

Mount Nemerçka lies between Përmet and Gjirokastër. It has steep slopes descending directly into the Vjosa Valley. Its highest peak, Papingu or the Peak of Light, rises to 2,485 meters. It is also the highest point of the Trebeshinë-Dhëmbel-Nemerçkë range. Other notable peaks include Gataku, Qesari, and Poliçan.

Mountain tourism in Albania is emerging as one of the country’s strongest tourism resources, alongside the coast. It attracts both foreign and domestic visitors.

Infrastructure and safety improvements, along with increased investment, are boosting this sector. These developments bring more income to local residents and tourism operators.

Mountain tourism not only extends the travel season in Albania but also diversifies the country’s tourism offer for all visitors.
