The Valbona Valley, part of Albania’s Albanian Alps National Park, attracts tourists from Albania and abroad throughout the year.

During winter, snowfall transforms the park into a magical landscape. Authorities maintain roads continuously, ensuring visitors move freely and safely. Today, Prime Minister Edi Rama shared photos of the snow-covered valley, highlighting its beauty.

Moreover, Valbona offers more than scenic views. Visitors explore northern villages, discovering traditions and local culture. At 800 meters above sea level, the valley provides a relaxing mountain retreat in every season.

Inside the park, tourists visit fascinating caves, including the famous Dragobia Cave. The region experiences harsh winters, heavy snow and rain, long frost periods, and strong winds, creating a unique alpine climate.

Meanwhile, travelers from around the world and nearby regions, including Kosovo, arrive daily, drawn by the valley’s hospitality and peaceful atmosphere. The park’s diverse landscapes mirror the broader beauty of the Albanian Alps.

Declared a National Park in January 1996, Valbona covers 8,000 hectares. It lies 25–30 km northwest of Bajram Curri, bordering Theth National Park and the protected Gashi River area. The Bajram Curri–Dragobi–Valbona–Çerem road connects the valley and facilitates access.

Finally, with its sharp peaks and dramatic scenery, Valbona changes colors with the seasons, offering dynamic vistas and hidden passages. These features make it one of the true jewels of the Albanian Alps, attracting adventurers and nature lovers alike.
