Sports and outdoors activities

At Lebanon's many sports and health clubs you can play golf, tennis or squash, swim, or participate in team sports. Fitness training is very popular and hotels and clubs will usually allow foreign visitors access to their facilities.

Thanks to Lebanon's varied geography, opportunities for outdoor activities abound. It takes little more than an hour to reach the snow-covered mountains (early January to the end of March) where our Mediterranean climate means ideal ski conditions and sunny skies on most days. For an unusual sports combination, try skiing in the morning and spending the afternoon swimming on the coast.

There are six ski stations in Lebanon:the Cedars, faraya, Fakra, Qanat, Bakish and Zaarour.
