Plan your trip

Getting here

About 120 km north of Beirut, around two and a half hours by car via Jbeil and Tripoli.

Weather

Snow from December to March; summer days are mild and nights are cool all year.

What to pack

Good boots, warm layers and a water bottle. Poles and safety gear are on us.

Come for a weekend, stay for a week

Fresh air, quiet trails and a view over the Qadisha Valley that stays with you. You choose how high you climb and how slow you go: we take care of the route, the gear and a warm room at the end of the day. In winter the same trails turn into snowshoe routes, and the wood stove is lit from four in the afternoon.
