Whether booking a weekend getaway in the mountains, enjoying snow activities or going on a snowshoeing adventure, Lebanon offers endless options for snow lovers. You might choose Zaarour, as the closest snowy destination to Beirut, or Kfardebian for its wide range of resorts, or perhaps the Cedars of God is more your thing, if you’re seeking something a little further away from the capital.
2- Try snowmobiling

If you are not a fan of skiing then you might want to try snowmobiling or ski-dooing instead. Whether you’re in Kfardebian, Laklouk or the Cedars of God, you can easily rent a motorized vehicle and go for a ride on the most beautiful trails while enjoying the views. For snowmobile hire in Kfardebian, contact All Road Club (Chaker Salameh) on +961 3 836 207.

Being among the oldest wine-producing countries in the world, Lebanon has an enviable number of first-class wineries. The Bekaa, being the main destination for wine lovers, is rich in vineyards, including those of Château Ksara, Château Heritage, Domaine des Tourelles, Château St. Thomas, Latourba and Château Ka. However, the Bekaa is not the only region where you can enjoy a wine tour. You can also visit Château Musar in Ghazir, Château Belle-Vue in Bhamdoun, Château Nabise in Rechmaya, Karam Wines in Jezzine or IXSIR and Aurora in Batroun.
