Mountain in Albania and North Macedonia
Korab is situated within the Korab Koritnik Nature Park. It is noted for its rich flora, including species such as Bosnian pine, European beech and alder. The peak lies next to the Šar Mountains and is part of the national emblem of North Macedonia.

The Korab range stretches over in a north–south direction between the lower section of the Black Drin and its tributary the Radika. It is around the border triangle of Albania, North Macedonia and Kosovo, southwest of the Šar Mountains. The peak is a very rugged mountain massif consisting mainly of shale and limestone of the Paleozoic period with block structures, as well as severely damaged gypsum rocks of Permo Triassic. On the west side, the mountain falls steeply over rock walls. The north side consists of craggy rocks. A kind of double peak, that of Korab II is about northwest of the peak within Albanian territory. On the same ridge are two other peaks rising over : Shulani i Radomirës and Korab III. The southeast, stretching from a few rock bands broken by meadows to the summit is easily accessed, and occasionally by shepherds with their flocks of sheep. In addition to the Korab peak, there are several other, almost equally high elevations. North of the twin peaks are numerous other nameless, almost equally high rock towers. The peak about to the southwest, Korab gate (Albanian: Maja e Portës së Korabit; Macedonian: Korapska Mala vrata) reaches A few hundred metres south is another peak, Maja e Moravës, which is only a little lower at
The peaks are occasionally interrupted by radial tectonics in the shape of blocks that end in the Radika valley on North Macedonia's side. Some of these blocks have steep slopes reaching up to In its highest part, above , the climate is alpine and includes some alpine flora elements. The mountain is home to the spectacular Korab Falls in the upper valley of the Dlaboka River. In springtime, the waterfall reaches a height of over 130 meters, making it the highest in North Macedonia. The state border intersects the higher peak, Great Korab. Ascent from the Macedonian side involves entering the Macedonian–Albanian boundary area, for which a special permit is required from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of North Macedonia, although people regularly trek on Korab without it. The two main passes in the Korab ridge are the Little Korab Gate and Big Korab Gate
The mountain has a number of sub peaks that are higher than 2000 metres. These include Korab II (unnamed peak) , Korab III (unnamed peak) , Korab Gates (peak) , Maja e Moravës , Shulani i Radomirës and Small Korab .

There are no formal restrictions on climbing the mountain from the Albanian side. The area is now safer and more stable than it has been in recent times. It is possible to drive as far as the local village of Radomira, but the local infrastructure is generally not good. A four wheel drive vehicle with high clearance may be required. There are no accurate and up to date maps, local signposting is poor, and hikers may have to overcome the additional problem of aggressive dogs. It is also possible to ascend from the North Macedonia side, starting at the Strezimir border outpost. When approaching from North Macedonia, hikers will be required to report to the border checkpoint and present their passport. An international expedition to climb Mount Korab is organised each September by the mountain club PSD "Korab" in Skopje.
