Il Libano sono i cedri quindi non potete assolutamente perdervi una visita a questa riserva, ma informatevi prima perché è in alto e la neve è spesso presente anche in primavera inoltrata.

First of all be aware that it takes a long ride to get here and you will most probably spend more time on the road than in the forest itself. What is really impressive is not the quantity but the age if these trees. It is a special feeling to stand there, smell the scent and enjoy the silence. If there is snow, you are very limited and you see even less. There is a good restaurant with a view over the forest and a few souvenir stalls.

Be aware that it is a long drive from Beirut to see a small grove of trees. Indeed, there are a lot fewer than one would expect. Fortunately the area is beautiful and there are other things to do in the dramatic Qadisha Valley. We visited in March with about 40cm of snow on the ground and the path through the cedars that others have written about was not open. There was no apparent signage to explain what we were seeing. One massive and impressive cedar stands amidst the shops selling wooden souvenirs, but the other trees on the hillside, when viewed from the roadway, did not make much of an impact. We spent about 15 minutes onsite.

Around 2 hour drive from Beirut depending on traffic and snow conditions in the mountains. Day of visit was a beautiful clear day with stunning views and a balmy 20 plus degrees. Unfortunately due to the high snowfall it wasn’t possible to access the small forest on foot but as previous visitors commented there are far more impressive cedar forests but these are the oldest and in a spectacular location. Lots of souvenir and Lebanese sweets/foods stalls in vicinity and few cafes. Beautiful nature spot well worth the trip out from Beirut.

Lungo la Valle di Qadisha si raggiunge la stazione sciistica dei Cedri, oltre la quale si trova il cuore verde del Libano: Arz ar-Rabb, la foresta dei cedri di Dio. Ci troviamo ad un’altezza di circa 2.000 metri sul livello del mare e qui si trovano circa 370 esemplari adulti, tra cui l’albero millenario che è stilizzato nella bandiera del Libano. La foresta è recintata, protetta e costantemente monitorata. Rappresenta infatti una delle ultime aree in cui sono presenti i famosi cedri del Libano. Simbolo di una nazione e di un popolo, un tempo ricoprivano tutta la catena montuosa del Monte Libano, nonché erano diffusi in Turchia, Siria e Cipro. In virtù del loro alto significato naturalistico ma anche culturale, i Cedri di Dio fanno parte dei beni tutelati dall’Unesco. Oggi si può assistere ad un’intensa opera di piantumazione nelle colline circostanti; quelli che a colpo d’occhio possono sembrare, da lontano, piccoli arbusti, sono in realtà piante di almeno 5 anni. Ed è per questo che il Libano è ancora e sempre sarà conosciuto come “il Paese dei Cedri”. Non per la loro diffusione, ma per il valore culturale e per la testarda speranza di tutela del territorio e del patrimonio storico che rappresenta ogni giovane esemplare.

There are actually much bigger cedar forests in the area, with hardly anyone visiting, and where you can do proper walks . This one is small but has the oldest trees and beautiful surroundings.

The Cedars is one of Lebanon’s most beautiful nature reserves, & home to the oldest Cedar Forest.
The area used to be an immense forest of cedars, cypresses, pines & oaks. Deforestation started in 3000 BC, when the wood was used for vessels, constructions & mummification. Attempts to protect the forest started in the 2nd century, yet deforestation continued!

Tyvärr ganska få träd kvar i det som en gång var en mäktig skog. Träden var märkta med höjd och det fanns butiker utanför där man kunde köpa cedersirap och träsouvenirer

This place makes you feel so tiny in comparison to how enormous the trees are. If only the trees could tell what they have seen in those thousands of years. If you had to choose one place to visit during your trip, it's definitely this one.

We're going to Lebanon next week and we're visiting the Cedars of God and Bcharre. Is there already snow over there or is it still not this time of the year?

It has only started to get colder here in Lebanon now. Snow will typically start in December. So, currently there is no snow.

Does anybody know if the road between Baalbek and Bcharre is now open (mid-late march 2018). Or still closed due to the snow? Thank you very much. Cristina

Hello,
The weather in Feb is cold of course, might be snowing, you can always check a couple of days earlier... you don't need much equipment, except maybe snowshoes if there is a lot of snow and some good clothes. You can check the weather online a couple of days earlier. BBQs are not allowed in the reserve. The slopes are nearby the reserve as well. So you can hit the slopes as well.
Hope this helps.

How do i get there from Beirut?

There are 2 ways to get to the cedars. One way is to drive there yourself. If you ate used to crazy middle east driving then you should be OK. You take the highway north of of Beirut towards Tripoli. About 30km before Tripoli at a place called Chikka you turn up the mountain. You carry on up the mountain until you teach the cedars. It's reasonably well sign posted. The drive there will probably take you an hour and a half.
Alternatively you can go on a guided tour. That is my personal choice and I went last week with one of the local tour operators. I don't know if I'm allowed to advertise who they are on Trip Advisor but they have been in the business since about 1950 something. The trip cost $85 and included a visit to the Gebran museum and the Holy Valley with the ancient monestry. It also included a well informed guide and lunch. Enjoy!
