Lebanon is a small but surprisingly diverse country in the east of the Mediterranean Sea, where you can ski and snowboard in truly unique conditions: the mountains here are just an hour’s drive from the coast, and on clear days the slopes overlook the sea.
Ski holidays in Lebanon in 2026
This is one of the most unusual ski destinations in the world. And at the same time, it is one of the least widespread. Few Russian tourists have ever traveled to Lebanese resorts, and, at least in the near foreseeable future, this region is unlikely to become a popular or “simple” destination for winter holidays.
It is important to be honest about this: in 2026, many countries still do not recommend trips to Lebanon. The reason is periodic exacerbations on the border with Israel, including airstrikes and rocket attacks, which may affect the border and northern regions of the country. Therefore, it is worth planning a trip here especially carefully, carefully monitoring the security situation and official recommendations.
Nevertheless, with a calm atmosphere and the right timing, the ski season in Lebanon can pleasantly surprise. Resorts offer an unusual format of skiing, a contrast of climate and a sense of a destination “not for everyone” that will be remembered for a long time.
