SNOWSHOEING IN THE HOLY MOUNTAIN OF TOMORR

Overview

Mount Tomorri lies to the east of the city of Berat and northeast of the town of Çorovoda and enjoys the status of a National Park.
Tomorri is the most unique and enigmatic mountain in Albania. It has been called the throne of the gods for its height, ferocity, beauty and riddle.
According to mythology, Pelasgian Dodona or “Bad Winter” Dodona reigned there. There are areas of everlasting snow as well as many water springs In winter, Tomor Mountain is a marvel for nature and snow lovers. Snowshoeing is a sport that gives you fantastic opportunities to experience spectacular scenery, magic, serenity, regeneration and blessing of gods from the shrine of gods.
Falling snow gives you the pleasure of enjoying this spiritual mountain in a completely different way, spending unforgettable moments with friends, family and children who go crazy with playing snowballs.
