It extends from Andqet in the north of Lebanon to Marjaayoun in the south, a 470-km path that crosses 79 towns and villages, 600-2,000 meters above sea level. The LMT showcases the natural beauty and cultural wealth of Lebanon's mountains and brings communities closer together.

Every year, more than 25,000 visitors walk on the LMT including Lebanese and foreign hikers.
