Cedars resort / Lebanon : Three new chailifts

It finally happened! The Cedars resort is installing THREE new chairlifts to replace the old T-bars and extend the ski runs. One of them already became operational this winter 2005 and the other two will soon follow. 15 million US Dollars have lately been invested to upgrade the facilities and expand the resort to higher standard of in terms of accommodation, equipment, safety, and services.

In 2006, a Gondola for 6 persons will carry skiers and visitors from the parking level at 2095m to the highest accessible summet of 2870m. To comply with international regulations, a Refuge with a capacity of 400 persons will also be built at the top of the Gondola. Its terrace will be equipped with telescopes capable of expanding your sights till the island of Cyprus .

In 2009, a new hotel accessible from the ski slopes will be operational to welcome guests and will hopefully be ready for the 2009 Asian Ski Championship taking place in Lebanon . A new road is currently under construction to avoid the small roads of Bcharreh village and save around 15 to 20 minutes to reach the slopes.
