SUMMARY:Lamartine Ras El Metn Hike With Vamos Todos
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by Lamartine“From this place, God’s gift to perceive His Work can be captured through a glimpse.”— Alphonse de Lamartine (1790–1869)\nThe ExperienceThis hike explores Ras el Metn and Lamartine Valley, landscapes that inspired the French poet during his time in Lebanon. Today, Ras el Metn remains deeply committed to preserving the valley’s natural beauty and promoting eco-tourism and sustainability.\nNature & HeritageAlong the way, discover pine forests, ancient cliff-carved tombs, natural grottos, and the historic spring Nabaa Ain El Marj (1472). The route also includes the abandoned monastery Deir Mar Youhana in Shehlen, offering sweeping views from Bhamdoun to Ktaleh.\nHiking Levels\n\n\nLevel 3 (Easy): Mostly flat and downhill (280 m descent), passing old houses, bridges, and Nabeh el Delbi, Beirut’s main water source.\n\n\nLevel 5 (Challenging): A steeper uphill trail leading to Deir Mar Youhana, with panoramic views before reconnecting with the group.\n\n\nPicnic by the RiverBoth groups meet for a relaxing picnic at Ain Sheikh Hassan Halawi, a natural freshwater source. Please bring your own lunch.\nFinal VisitAfter the hike, the program concludes at the historic Serail of Ras el Metn (1775), built by the Lamaayeen princes, where the courtyard and bell tower still stand as symbols of the village’s heritage.\nEvent Details\n\n\nWhere: Lamartine Valley, Ras el Metn – Mount Lebanon800 m altitude | 20 km from Beirut\n\n\nWhen: Thursday, December 23\n\n\nMeeting Time: 8:00 AM (departure at 8:15 AM sharp)\n\n\nMeeting Place: Parking of Sagesse School, Jdeideh\n\n\nNote: Breakfast stop along the way\n\n\nPrice & Registration\n\n\n$30 per person (transport, guides, and insurance included)\n\n\nRegistration at Antoine Library branches or online:https://www.antoineticketing.com/…/2/outdoors-experiences\n\n\nInsurance PartnerExclusive insurance sponsor: LIA Assurex\n
