33 North invites you to walk the Lebanon Mountain Trail
(LMT), the first long-distance hiking trail in Lebanon!
The LMT extends from Qbaiyat in the north of Lebanon to
Marjaayoun in the south, a 440-km (275 miles) path that
transects more than 75 towns and villages at altitude ranging
from 1,000 meters to 1,800 meters (about 3,000-5,400 feet)
above sea level. The LMT showcases the natural beauty and
cultural wealth of Lebanon’s mountains and demonstrates
the determination of the people of Lebanon to conserve this
unique heritage. The trail brings communities closer together
and expands economic opportunities in rural areas through
environmentally- and socially-responsible tourism.
