    East of Bcharre in northern Lebanon lies the ski resort the Cedars , just a few KMs away from the famous grove of cedar trees.
    At 2100 to 2900 M the Cedars is the highest of the six ski resorts in Lebanon.
    The season is from November till April.
    In the Cedars ski resort, a small village, are some hotels, shops and four slopes with skilifts (from beginner to intermediate).
    When we visited the resort end April, the last snow on the slopes was melting.

    Equipment: There are some equipment hire-shops.

    Travelling from Bcharre to Beirut in the area 30 KM east of Batroun, the road to Aannaya was closed. The national car ralley should pass by and we had to wait near one of the sharp curves in the race circuit.
    It was unplanned, but it was a nice relaxed place to make a stop. And after we had unexpected breathtaking moments, standing on a slope in the front row, when the racing cars appeared, taking the sharp curve just in front of us.
