Prime Minister Edi Rama shared the article published by the “New York Times” in the social media.

“For the year 2023, The Vjosa River was a suggestion of the NYT, while now another National Park is proposed – the Northern Alps, with Theth and Valbona, as the perfect choice for nature enthusiasts who want to experience unique hospitality experiences”, emphasized Rama.

The “New York Times” writes that: “The remote mountain range in northern Albania, known as the Accursed Mountains, or the Albanian Alps (although it also reaches into Montenegro and Kosovo), has for years entranced hikers seeking serenity among its peaks.”

Meanwhile, last year the Albanian Alps were ranked among the 13 most beautiful places for skiing in Europe.

The Alps National Park was one of the most visited destinations in our country last year. Gashi River, Valbona Valley, Thethi, Vermoshi and Boga from January to December 2022 were visited by 230,944 tourists.

The Albanian Alps lie north of the Drin River. They include the northern part of the country and occupy about 8% of it; they have a very isolated geographical position, because the roads that connect them with other regions of the country and the Albanian territories outside the border are few and in bad condition./k.s/p.s./
