WINTER SPORTS / Cedars
Lebanon has six ski resorts: Cedars, Laqlouq, Faraya Mzaar, Faqra, Qanat Bakish and Zaarour.
Skiers and snowboarders of all levels are welcomed to enjoy the white snow of Lebanon
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. Maybe you prefer ice skating, well, you won't be disappointed as the Ice Skating Arena is what your looking for. Winter in Lebanon is as fun as the summer; enjoy it.
THE CEDARS OF LEBANON are an integral part
of the history of the country, just as the antique cities of Byblos, Tyre and
Baalbek. They date back to antiquity, when the Phoenicians were exporting
cedar-wood to the pharaohs from the apparently inexhaustible forests which at
the time covered the upper reaches of the mountains. The wood was not only used
for construction but more especially for nobler purposes; this was the sacred
wood of the gods and used to honour the dead, a task to which the people of the
ancient Orient attached deep importance.
The cedars of today are very few in number
because they have been overexploited, but their isolation gives them even
greater majesty, evoking some awesome presence in the pure silence of the
mountain peaks, standing strong
under
the snow amid sparkling cascades or locked in a grim struggle against the
desolation of bare rock.
Hundreds of young Cedar trees have been
planted around the area during the last 30 years, but since they only grow at a
rate of 1 cm every year, it will be many generations before these saplings reach
the impressive size of those in the forest.
In addition to the Cedar forest, there are a number of sites of interest in the
area.
The town of Bsharri is best known as the
birth place and resting place of Gibran Khalil Gibran, Lebanon's most famous
mystic poet, artist and novelist. The Gibran Museum a converted monastery houses
his paintings, drawings, and personal effects, as well as his casket. The town
also has three churches and a waterfall.
In a magical place where the cedars
forest dominates, L'Auberge des Cèdres Hotel is located. It is the ideal place
to stay in a natural environment away from the stress, where you will find
everything that makes your holidays unforgettable. A charming 20 Keys property and
mountain retreat, recently refurnished to provide guests with the utmost comfort
and amenities coupled with a truly memorable and generous hospitality........
Located in the most
