Reaching the highest peak of Lebanon (3088m) is a medium difficulty hike that takes around 4 to 5 hours. For this package we always recommend spending the night before in the Cedars area as to start the hike early in the morning without wasting your energy with the 2 hours and a half drive from Beirut.
You will depart from a hike point located within the Cedars ski resort and head towards the summit of Lebanon, located on the high plateau just above the resort.
Best months for taking this hike are from April until end of October where new snow starts falling. If needed, our guide will supply you with snow shoes; mainly during the spring.
