(121km from Beirut
- 1850m to 3078m)
The
famous and well-equipped ski resort
known as "The Cedars" became operational in the first
half of the twentieth century. It is famous for the quality of snow and the
distant panoramic view that encompasses the Mediterranean Sea on a clear day.
The beauty of the location, the crisp clean air and the proximity of the
town of Bcharreh
make "The Cedars" one of the most popular winter resorts in
all Lebanon.
Skiing here is good for an
average of five months a year particularly between December and April.
The ski area at 2,066 meters offers a combination of slopes, most of them
with an ideal northwest exposure. Five T-bar rows carry skiers up to 2,300
meters. Hotels,
chalets, restaurants and snack bars are in good supply and ski rentals and
lessons are available.
