Lake Gramë, Liqeni i Gramës, is the largest and deepest lake of the Korab range, a glacial lake in the eastern Korab mountains near Mount Korab and Mali i Gramës, within the Korab-Koritnik nature park. Its shores are steep and rocky.
How it formed
Rain and snow feed the lake, and its level peaks in late spring as the snow melts from the peaks around it. The Mirrors of Grama, rock formations of weathered chalk, can be seen from the shore.

Tips
The lake is reached on foot from Radomirë, the main Albanian starting point for Korab, where guesthouses can be found: a moderate hike of about 14 km and 6 hours to the Grama pastures, with some 950 m of climbing. It can also be done as a full-day hike from Peshkopi, and a traverse continues about 15 km to the village of Rabdisht.
Gramë is a suggested overnight stop on a four-day Korab walk from Shishtavec to Rabdisht, and there is a mountain camp. The area is greenest in early summer, when snowfields are still melting, and striking in autumn, when the blueberry slopes turn red.
