About the Hike
π Date: Sunday, October 18, 2026
π Location: Chouf, Lebanon
π Destination: Marj Bisri
π₯Ύ Distance options: 17 km or 23 km
πΊοΈ Trail type: Point-to-point
The 23 km route begins from the old Baadaran Airport and offers the full mountain-to-valley crossing.
The 17 km route starts farther along the trail, offering a shorter option before both routes connect and continue toward the same finish point in Marj Bisri.
Along the way, hikers will cross open mountain terrain, old paths, rural landscapes, and wide viewpoints before descending into Bisri Valley.
From Baadaran to Marj Bisri
This route offers a different hiking experience in the Chouf. Instead of following a loop and returning to the starting point, the trail continuously moves across the landscape from the mountains toward the valley below.
With 17 km and 23 km options, hikers can choose the distance that matches their endurance while experiencing the same final journey into Marj Bisri.
Early booking is recommended!
