Mount Tomorr National Park
Mali i Tomorrit
A sacred mountain 2,416 m high to the east of Berat, a pilgrimage site of the Bektashi order, where you can ride a 4x4 up to alpine meadows and views over the Balkan mountains.
Mount Tomorr is visible from the town of Berat and is regarded by Albanians as a sacred mountain. Near the summit is the tomb of Abbas Ali, a Bektashi saint, and each year, around August 20 to 25, large numbers of pilgrims come to visit. The mountain area is a national park. In summer and autumn, 4x4 vehicles can take you up gravel roads, and from there you can walk to the ridge for views over the mountains of central and southern Albania. Snow closes the mountain in winter. The roads are rough, so joining a 4x4 tour departing from Berat is strongly recommended.
