- Faqra Natural Arch — a striking limestone arch and dramatic rock formations a short walk from the ruins; an easy-to-reach natural landmark that makes for a memorable panorama and photo stop.
- Faqra climbing crags — well-known among local climbers for bolted sport routes on solid limestone; whether you climb or just watch, the vertical rock faces and training areas give you a different way to experience the mountains.
- Mzaar gondola and chairlift rides — quick, scenic lifts that take you above the treeline for sweeping views of the Mount Lebanon range and the Bekaa valley; an easy way to access high trails and viewpoints without the sweat.
- Paragliding launch sites (tandem flights) — operators run tandem jumps from the slopes around Mzaar/Faqra in suitable weather; flying over the ridges gives an unbeatable perspective of the town and valley below.
- Kfardebian village core and local churches — a quieter side of the town: stone houses, small village squares and neighborhood churches where you can feel ordinary mountain life and chat with locals over coffee or a shared plate.
- Mountain hiking circuits — a network of trails that fan out from the resort and Faqra plateau (short loops and longer ridge walks); they’re the best way to find wildflowers, picnic spots and remote viewpoints without leaving the municipality.
- Family-run mountain restaurants and mezza spots — simple, hearty food in rustic settings: grilled meats, fresh mountain salads and warm hospitality make these places a highlight after a day on the slopes or trails.
- Seasonal events and resort nightlife — Mzaar and the nearby hotels host winter parties, summer concerts and occasional festivals; they’re a lively, local way to experience the town’s social scene if your timing matches an event.
