  • Hit the Ski Slopes in the Heart of the Middle East
    Hit the Ski Slopes in the Heart of the Middle East March 1, 2016, Beirut, Lebanon Lebanon has long been known as a fantastic holiday destination, from the nightlife of Beirut to the ancient wonders of Baalbek and beyond. However, Lebanon is less well known as an international skiing destination. With a number of well established ski resorts, the country mixes Mediterranean style, wonderful hospitality, and pristine slopes just 30 to 60 minutes from Four Seasons Hotel Beirut on the sea. Lebanon's six resorts are all within a couple of hours drive from Beirut, making them immediately accessible and well worth a visit on the weekend. Skiing is popular with the locals and the ski season sees slopes replete with locals and tourists alike. Each resort has something to offer and it seems that every skier has a personal favourite. • Mzaar is Lebanon's most famous resort. Located by the villages of Faraya and Kfardebian, Mzaar offers more than 80 kilometres of slopes at up to 2465 metres. Mzaar is also home to the country's most challenging slopes, though there's plenty of snow for beginners and 1 intermediate skiers, too. Visitors should partake of some delicious street food at places such as Emm Bashir and Abou Artine. • Faqra Club was one of the first private ski clubs in the country, set up in 1974. Visitors can stay at the resort and enjoy stunning chalets, a heated pool, tennis courts and other amenities. With a variety of slopes, the resort caters to all levels and is well appointed in terms of infrastructure.
