Mzaar Kfardebian (previously Faraya) resort has 80 kilometers of ski tracks. The skiing season in Lebanon is similar in length to that of the Alps stretching over a period of 4 months. Skiers, snowboarders, snowmobile addicts, cross-country lovers and paragliders come to Mzaar from all parts of the country. Starting at 1850m, you may reach the 2465m top of Mzaar and enjoy the breathtaking view over the colourful Bekaa valley, Mount Hermon of the Anti-Lebanon and other peaks like Laqlouq and The Cedars. Coastal towns and even Beirut, the capital, might be seen on a clear day. Those who want a break from skiing at Mzaar might visit the stunning 30 metre natural bridge of Kfardebian formed by wind and water erosion, and also ruins of a Phoenician temple and a Roman tower.
