Faraya-Mzaar Resort
Lebanon is renowned for its magnificent 4 seasons, each unveiling a mysterious secret that the mountain uncovers best. In 1968, a group of mountain-lovers decided to create a resort that would offer all the facilities one can enjoy in a mountain: they created Faraya-Mzaar that later became the largest ski resort, most equipped and most professional in the entire Middle-East. The region of Ouyoun el Simane Kfardebian kept the charm of its desert aspect from the past, at an altitude ranging from 1800 to 2465 meters, and only 50 minutes away from the capital and 20 minutes away from the sea shore!
* Our motto is "Enjoy the thrill of the great outdoors", so believe us when we say that Faraya-Mzaar is magical.
Faraya-Mzaar Resort Overview
Faraya is the name of the village just below the actual slopes in Ouyoune El-Simane; however the whole area is better known under the name of Faraya Mzaar Kfardebian or simply again, Faraya, which is the best equipped and most popular resort of Lebanon.
The resort has 42 slopes and 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 the resort from all parts of the country. Starting at 1850m, you may reach the 2465m top of Mzaar and enjoy the breathtaking view over the colorful 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 might visit the stunning 30 meter natural bridge of Kfardebian formed by wind and water erosion, and also ruins of a Phoenician temple and a Roman tower.
At Faraya Mzaar Kfardebian if you are an advanced skier, you will need at least two days to ski the best of the resort and start searching for new tracks. An option here, if looking for a more challenging day, is to hire a guide from the ski school to show you other exciting areas. Intermediates will have a lot of fun as well, and it is also an ideal resort for beginners as the lower slopes are wide and gentle.
