The mountains of Kosovo mainly consist of the Accursed Mountains in the west, the Šar Mountains in the south and the Kopaonik Mountains in the northeast. The Accursed Mountains and the Šar Mountains both are home to the highest peaks in Kosovo rising well over 2,500 m (8,202 ft), while Kopaonik mountains raise to a maximum of 2,017 m (6,617 ft).

The mountains have some special landscapes like the Rugova Canyon and the Kaçanik Gorge. There are alpine and glacial lakes located in most of the mountains.
