Prime Minister Edi Rama promoted today the natural beauty of Lëpusha and Kelmendi in Malësia e Madhe. He presented them as unique destinations in the Albanian Alps.

Rama also shared images from the mountain area. He described Lëpusha as “a wonder of our Alps” and a must-visit for all those who love nature tourism.

As a result, Malësia e Madhe is gaining more visibility as a reference point for mountain and family tourism. It attracts both local and international visitors. Moreover, its rich natural potential, combined with traditional hospitality and the growth of agritourism, makes the area one of the most promising destinations for sustainable tourism in Albania.

In addition, new guesthouses have been built in Lëpusha with the support of the Agricultural and Rural Development Agency. These facilities allow the village to welcome visitors throughout the year.

Lëpusha stands out as the rare beauty of Kelmendi and the true “pearl” of the Albanian Alps. The village is surrounded by high mountains, the rocky block of Shnik in the Accursed Mountains, and dense forests. Meanwhile, green pastures spread widely during summer.

The Sheu stream flows through the village all year long. Traditionally, the economy relied on livestock and farming. However, in recent years, agritourism has developed strongly. At the same time, woodcraft remains another source of income for local families.

Therefore, Lëpusha has become a perfect place for both nature and adventure tourism. Its fairy-tale beauty shines in summer, yet guesthouses now offer comfort for year-round travel. Visitors today include hikers, adventurers, winter sports lovers, and nature enthusiasts.
