8- How far is the accommodation from the slopes and what time do the lifts open?
In Mzaar, the furthest hotel proposed by our booking engine is only 5 minutes from the slopes, but you may rely on the shuttles provided by most accommodations to get you there and back from around 8:30 in the morning. Other hotels or chalets might be on the slopes or at a walking distance. The lifts open at 8:00 and they stop running at 3:30 which means you are back down for tea by 4:00PM. In the Cedars area, you are 15 minutes from the slopes in the village of Bcharreh or 5 minutes away from a hotel the Cedars village. This allows sights for non-skiers to be within walking distance. The lifts open at 8:00. If there is little demand they will close at 2:30 or 3:00PM, but this still gives you the best part of the afternoon to come back down and sightsee.
