Zla Kolata, Alpine summit at Montenegro-Albania border

Zla Kolata is an alpine summit positioned along the Montenegro-Albania border, reaching approximately 2,534 meters in elevation. The peak features sheer limestone faces and offers expansive views across the Dinaric Alps range.

Zla Kolata lies on the border between the Gusinje municipality of Montenegro and the Tropojë district of Kukës County, Albania. Its Montenegrin slopes fall within Prokletije National Park, and the peak belongs to the North Albanian Alps range. At 2,534 m it is the highest summit in Montenegro and the 16th highest in Albania.

The name Kollata appears in both the Albanian form Kollata e Keqe ("bad peak") and the Montenegrin Zla Kolata, and the neighbouring summit is Kolata e Mirë, the "good" one. The massif's three summits are distinguished by these paired names, which walkers use to tell them apart on the ridge.

The summit lies on the border ridge between the Gusinje municipality of Montenegro and the Tropojë district of Albania, so it can be approached from either country. The slightly lower Kolata e Mirë stands about half a kilometre to the northeast, while the higher Rodi e Kollatës, one kilometre east-southeast and entirely on Albanian soil, is less often visited.

The highest point of the Kolata massif is not Zla Kolata but Rodi e Kollatës, also called Maja e Kollatës, one kilometre east-southeast and entirely on Albanian soil at 2,552 m. It looks into the Valbona Valley yet is visited less often than its lower neighbour.
