Always visible to the east of Berat is the Tomorr Mountain National Park, the highest peak of which soars to 2,416 metres. For much of the year the range is capped with snow.
If you’re holidaying in Berat in the summer then the high temperatures will make an ascent on foot difficult, but there are operators in the city offering 4×4 trips to the top of Mount Tomorr.
At the top there’s a shrine belonging to Shia Islam’s Bektashi order. The route to the top is wonderful, passing olive groves, pine forest and highland pasture before entering a stark landscape of exposed rock.
