Çuka E Partizanit

Çuka Partizani (lit.'Partisan Peak') is the highest peak of the Tomorr massif, located in south-central Albania. Part of the larger Tomorr-Kulmak-Miçan mountain range, it reaches a height of 2,416 m (7,927 ft), making it the second highest peak in the Southern Mountain Region after Maja e Papingut.

Geology

The peak is situated at the northern edge of Tomorr, ascending in the shape of a pyramid, characterized by steep slopes composed of Quaternary ice. Glacial cirques can be found on the eastern flank of the peak which remains snow-covered from early autumn through the end of summer.

Çuka Partizani is a popular destination for mountain climbers.
