Skiing/Snowboarding in Lebanon! (updated daily)
Posted: Mon Dec 24, 2007 7:16 pm
Lebanon has six ski resorts with groomed slopes, catering to skiers and snowboarders of all levels. Beyond the skiable domains await you kilometers of cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails waiting to be discovered; Lebanon has something for everyone. Each of the ski resorts has a different flavor; however, it is Faraya Mzaar (Kfardebian) that offers world-class infrastructure and facilities for the tourists. The Cedars resort is ideal for nature getaway seekers, and Laqlouq is suitable for families with levels up to intermediate.
The main purpose of writting this topic is to inform all ski or snowboard lovers about all information about this ski season!
