Snow and avalanches
We expect about 116 cm of fresh snow on the summit over the next 7 days, first today. The ECMWF model shows no snow on the ground for the area.
There is no official avalanche service in Albania or Kosovo, so we never rate avalanche danger. We only show the forecast snow. In winter, go into the mountains only with experience, equipment and a local guide.
