Bchaaleh Trails Association:
Bchaaleh Trails Association is a new established local association specialised in ecotourism.
Our vision is to make Bchaaleh the best rural sustainable tourism destination in the region and inclusive for all.
Our mission is to preserve, promote and protect our cultural and natural heritage, transfer it in a better shape for future generations by developing sustainable tourism businesses and creating job opportunities leading to local circular economy and wellbeing enhancement of local community.
Variety, High Quality of Hiking activity and One of a kind Experiences:
Our Millennial Olive Trees are the first reason that makes the experience one of its kind.
Those trees are known as Noah's, claimed to be the oldest in the world and a recent study marks them including the mother genotypes of the olive trees in the mediterranean basin.
Bchaaleh has cultural and historical assets providing Bchaaleh its uniqueness in combining natural, rural, historical, archeological and authentic aspects in one place.
28 km of hiking trails are available to be tailored and customised to meet the needs of all types of hikers, beginners, intermediate and advanced.
Big variety of activities and experiences are proposed that make the visitors come again or extend their stay to experience them all.
Our local guides are trained on guiding techniques, group management, wilderness first aid, equipment and responsible tourism.
We aim to provide a quality experience, to make the travellers live and enjoy the destination: they would be aware of what’s going on around, the sounds, the smells, the sceneries, the people, the overall feeling.
They would exchange as much as they can with locals to immerse themselves in the culture. They would ask them about their habits and customs and will try to live like them.
People with disabilities would easily access some of our trails and activities spaces. In addition, we can offer the Physically Challenged a hike in nature on one of our qualified trails using the Joëlette wheelchair.
Our olive parc garden is a place for children to move freely and play safely. Easy trails are also provided for families with small children. In addition, our monasterie's courtyards are places where these families could rest or have fun.
