Join us for an extreme mountain-to-mountain adventure across some of the wildest highlands in Keserwan Lebanon ⛰️🔥
Starting from St. Charbel Faraya, the journey begins through high mountain terrain and open jroud landscapes before gradually entering greener sections overlooking Chabrouh Dam and the surrounding valleys.
The trail crosses a mix of barren mountain ridges, dirt roads, and remote high-altitude terrain with nonstop panoramic views toward Sannine and the central Lebanese mountains. Along the way, you will pass through isolated shepherd areas, encounter old juniper trees shaped by harsh mountain weather, and experience the raw atmosphere of Lebanon’s upper mountain wilderness.
As the trail continues toward Yahchouch, the scenery changes dramatically from exposed mountain landscapes into the dense forests of Jabal Moussa Reserve. Moss-covered trees, shaded forest sections, and hidden paths create a completely different atmosphere compared to the first half of the crossing.
The final section descends toward St. Jeryes Yahchouch through one of the most beautiful forested areas in the reserve, overlooking Adonis Valley where the Ibrahim River runs below.
This route keeps the same X27 challenge, distance, endurance level, and adventure spirit — only with a completely different visual experience between wild jroud terrain and deep green mountain landscapes.
This is not a casual hike.
This is a real endurance trail made for experienced hikers and challenge seekers only.
