Snowshoeing - Falougha Cedars Snowshoeing - Baabda District

  • Falougha Cedars Snowshoeing

    Join us for a snowshoeing adventure along the scenic trail from Falougha to Jabal el Kneiseh, perched at over 1650 meters above sea level, offering stunning panoramic views of the entire region.

    The journey begins at the historic Falougha Cedar Forest, where the first Lebanese flag was raised, and continues to Lamartine Rock, a site that inspired the famous French poet, Lamartine.
    Participants will be divided into two routes:
    • The Challenging Route starts at the Sohat Factory in Falougha, ascending toward Jabal el Kneiseh. From there, the group will continue to the Cedar Forest and then head to Lamartine Rock for lunch.
    • The Easier Route also begins at the Sohat Factory, but takes a gentler path through Sohat Village, the Cedar Forest, and finally to Lamartine Rock for lunch.

    After lunch, both groups will reunite for the return journey back to Falougha, concluding the adventure.
