The Albanian Alps are encountered in the most northern part of Albania and have very clear-cut boundaries representing the highest and most beautiful regions of this country. Regarding the physical and geographical viewpoint, the Albanian Alps border with the Drini valley (Fierzë, Vau i Dejës) in the south, the Tropoja basin in the east and northeast and the Mbishkodra plain in the west. In the north, they extend beyond the Albanian territory, in Montenegro.
