Aspect by elevation band
Restricted to terrain of 25° or more — the ground where aspect actually matters. This is the format avalanche bulletins use, so you can carry it straight into your own assessment.
These figures come from a 30 m elevation model, resampled to a 25 m analysis grid. A model at that scale smooths steep ground: a genuine 45° couloir can read as 35°, and short steps between grid cells disappear entirely. Treat every angle here as a floor, not a ceiling, and verify on the ground.
Contours and hillshading from OpenTopoMap. Colour along the line follows the same slope classes as the profile.
Elevations sampled from Copernicus DEM GLO-30 (AWS Open Data) (30 m), analysis grid 25 m, EPSG:32634. This is a drawn line, not a recorded track: it carries no evidence about conditions on any particular day. A planning aid, not a recommendation.
Guide’s take
We start with a short drive from Prevallë to Krojet e Prevallës, a popular spring where many people come to fill their bottles with fresh water, which they believe is especially good. We park the van there and continue the trip on skis.
At the beginning, the route follows a 4×4 and tractor track through the forest. After leaving the track, we start zigzagging through the beech forest, where low branches can sometimes make the passage a bit tricky, especially when there is a lot of snow. Eventually, we reach a meadow and continue climbing through more open terrain, with fewer trees.
As we gain elevation, we traverse along the side of Lake Jazhinca, passing some rocky sections before making our final push towards Dovedenica Peak. On clear days, the views from up here are really beautiful, with wide panoramas over the surrounding mountains. The summit area is quite exposed, and it is usually windy, so even on a sunny day it can feel pretty cold.
The descent follows the same route back down, offering a nice mix of open slopes and forest skiing. The slopes face north, which can help preserve the snow and keep conditions good for longer. The route is generally considered to have a relatively low avalanche risk compared to steeper alpine terrain, but conditions can change, especially after heavy snowfall or strong winds, so the snowpack should always be assessed before heading out.
Overall, it’s a rewarding ski tour with a bit of everything: forest travel, open slopes, beautiful mountain views and a summit that feels wild and exposed, without being an overly technical objective in good conditions.
