Lebanon’s premier mountain resort — skiing in winter, adventure in summer.
Faraya is Lebanon’s premier mountain resort, about 46 km northeast of Beirut, home to the country’s largest ski area at Mzaar.
In winter it’s a lively snow destination; in the warmer months it becomes a base for hiking, ATV rides and visits to the nearby Faqra Roman ruins and natural rock bridge.
