The following is a list of mountains in North Macedonia.
North Macedonia is a predominantly mountainous country. The average elevation of the terrain is 850 meters. Approximately 80% of the country consists of hills and mountains. The mountains are divided into two basic groups: on the one hand in the North-West the Šar Mountains mountain range that continues to the West Vardar/Pelagonia mountain range in the South-West and South (contiguous with the Dinaric ranges).[1] On the other hand, in the South-East the Osogovo-Belasica mountain chain (westernmost section of the Rila-Rhodope Mountains).
The Šar Mountains and West Vardar/Pelagonia mountain range is a continuation between the Dinaric Alps to the north and Pindus mountain ranges to the south, whereas the Osogovo-Belasica mountain chain is a continuation of the Rila-Rhodopes mountain massif.
