This time we are going for an amazing walk while enjoying the fresh air and watching the beautiful mountains and panoramic views in the Keserwan area. So, don’t miss the opportunity to contemplate the sky and the nature of the region from the Cedars Forest, where we are going to be.
Fresh air and a calm atmosphere out in nature is the best way to spend last summer day.

HIKING LEVEL. 1 to 3 for easy, 4 to 6 for intermediate, 7 to 9 for strenuous
Level 4: (7 km) is a moderate hike. We will hike along a down easy path for just 2.3 hours.
We will start the hike in Raachine, one of the most spectacular villages of Mount Lebanon, and visit St Stephan Church. A walk to the sanctuary located on the steep cliff overlooking the camp is a must to see. We will see as well the Cedars Memorial Forest (Tabriyeh Memorial) and then go down to visit “Sanctuary St Marina” and reach “Our Lady of Fortress” (Saidet El Kalaa) in Chahtoul.

The main feature of Raachine and Chahtoul is the beautiful rock formations spread throughout the villages. We get to walk along the mountain cliff overlooking the spectacular simultaneous sea and mountain and reach breathtaking views exposed to the Sun.
Level 5 (9 km) is the same march, he will also start at the Tiberias Memorial and follow the same intermediate path, but he will end his journey at the cross in Hayat to later meet level 4 in Our Lady of the Kala’a.
Don’t let any adventure go by untried. Live your life to the fullest!
