  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. On the other hand, in the South-East the Osogovo-Belasica mountain chain.
  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.
