Leisure

Other than reading, detoxing, enjoying the pool and tasting the local food, SummaQ is within a 10km radius from historic, religious, archeological and natural sites. For the hikers, the explorers and the ‘Baudelaire-like’ wanderers, you will find within walking distance and in proximity, the sacred Valley of Qadisha, (Ouadi Qadisha), designated UNESCO world heritage site (there is an existing hiking trail that passes by Ard SummaQ) where the beautiful Monastery of St Anthony resides (with a hidden gem inside, the first printing press in the Middle East!), the Qannoubine Valley and Monastery, the vibrant town of Ehden with the first Maronite church in Lebanon, and its magical Nature Reserve (Horsh Ehden) where you will step into an enchanting forest full of endangered species and unmatchable beauty.  Drive few more Kilometers and you will find the St Rafka Convent, the family house of St Charbel, the Gibran Khalil Gibran Museum and the Cedars of God and its skiing slopes. A rich social, cultural and architectural experience is awaiting you!
