Dardhë
A mountain village with stone houses at over 1,300 metres above sea level. It is a weekend retreat, a summer hiking and cooling spot, and in winter it has a small ski area.
Dardhë lies in a valley about 20 kilometres southeast of Korçë. Old houses with stone slate roofs are stacked on top of one another, and many were built with money sent home by villagers who emigrated to the United States in the early 20th century. The village has traditional guesthouses and restaurants where you can try local grilled meats and jams. There are many pine-forest trails in the surrounding area. In winter, there is a chairlift and a simple ski run, making it one of the few ski areas in Albania. The final stretch of mountain road is narrow, so take care with tyres in snowy weather.
