The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive ready for heights

Most elements use harnesses and platforms—if you’re uneasy with exposed drops, mention it to staff so they can help you progress at your pace.

Footwear matters

Choose sturdy closed-toe shoes with grip for rappel and walking between stations.

Hydrate and snack

Bring a water bottle and small snacks—lunch break is long but activities are energetic and spread out.

Protect from sun and wind

Bring a light wind layer and sun protection; ridgelines can be both windy and exposed.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Off-trail viewpoint north of the park for unobstructed coastal panoramas
  • Small family-run mountain restaurant on-site that serves traditional mezzes and strong Lebanese coffee

Wildlife

  • Rock hyraxes or mountain goats in rocky crags
  • Migratory raptors riding the thermals on clear days

Conservation Note

Stick to marked paths, avoid disturbing vegetation, and pack out all trash; operators typically use centralized facilities to minimize erosion and habitat disturbance.

The Mount Lebanon slopes have long supported terrace agriculture and seasonal mountain communities; modern adventure facilities reuse historic access roads and viewpoints.
