Wintertime can’t be complete without snow. Tirana is a lucky city because even though it might not snow in the city, it does in its suburbs and mountainous areas so that anyone can enjoy the white beauty every year.

Mountain Dajti is just half an hour by car and less than 15 minutes by Cable Car. The National Park of Dajti area is the most popular winter destination, especially from January to February.

Every citizen can reach the snow, even by bus or car, while the Cable Car ticket costs almost 14 euros. People tend to go to Mountain Dajti on weekends for a weekend break in the snow.

Playing with snowballs is the favorite activity for most, especially families with children, while groups of climbers practice their skills in snow-covered mountains. There are some excellent restaurants and bars where you can drink something hot or taste a good traditional lunch, such as Ballkoni I Dajtit, Panorama, or Gurra e Perris, which are some of the restaurants in the area.

People who want to stay a night and enjoy the mountainous areas can sleep at the Tower Belvedere Hotel or other smaller hotels.

The prices are good compared to the same areas in other countries. But there are no alternatives for winter sports, such as skiing, in Dajti Mount. The only activities are playing with snowballs, making a snowman, and walking among beautiful trees covered with white coats.

It is a good opportunity for Tirana citizens and tourists to see some snow every year. A daily tour can cost between 20 euros and 50 euros, including a ticket, a drink, fast food, or a good lunch. It depends on how much a person wants to spend.
