Lëpusha Emerges as a Jewel of the Albanian Alps

Lëpusha is strengthening its position as one of Albania’s most unique mountain tourism destinations.
Located in the heart of the Albanian Alps, the village is attracting visitors with its untouched nature, rich biodiversity, and stunning alpine landscapes.
Prime Minister Edi Rama shared photos from the area on Wednesday. He highlighted the growth of agritourism and the region’s tourism potential.
Meanwhile, Rama pointed to Bujtina Kelmendi as a successful example of rural tourism development. The guesthouse received support from the Agency for Agricultural and Rural Development through the National Support Scheme.
Entrepreneur Dod Gjerkaj has created a business that combines traditional Kelmendi hospitality with local cuisine and nature-based tourism experiences.
In addition, visitors can enjoy hiking trails, explore the Albanian Alps, and experience authentic mountain life throughout the year.
Furthermore, the initiative is seen as a model of sustainable rural and mountain tourism. It also supports the local economy and promotes northern Albania as a destination with strong tourism potential.
