Valamara is a massif located in eastern Albania. Converging on the borders between Korçë, Gramsh, and Pogradec municipalities, it rises at a height of 2,373 m (7,785 ft). The northern boundary is marked by Guri i Topit 2,125 m (6,972 ft) and the southern limit by Lenie (2012 m).[1]

Geology

[edit]

The massif is predominantly composed of ultrabasic rocks. Its terrain features various glacial landforms with numerous glacial lakes, seven of which can be found above 1,600 m (5,200 ft).[2] The eastern slopes give rise to the Shkumbin river, while the western and southeastern slopes are traversed by the Devoll river.[3]

Biodiversity

[edit]

Vegetation consists of beech and pine forests covering the lower regions and rich summer pastures flourishing in the upper regions.[4]
