Why Buy A Chalet At Le Sommet – Laklouk?

Living on a mountain in a nerve-soothing and peaceful space is your every Lebanese dream.

Mountain life can offer you a great escape from the hustle bustle of city life and everyday stress. Having a homey chalet on a naturally preserved mountain top can achieve your dream getaway and revive your connection with nature.

Recent studies have shown that living at high altitudes even lowers your risk of depression, heart disease, and asthma, as it helps reduce weight and increase life expectancy.

Why choose a chalet in Laklouk when you can live anyplace else?

Located 63 kilometers (39 miles) northwest of Beirut, Laklouk is considered both a summer and winter retreat. Its distinctive setting is not only influenced by its spectacular landscape but also its abundant greenery. It is less crowded with fewer infrastructures than other areas in the mountain region.

Situated 2,000 meters above sea level, Laklouk is one of the best ski destinations in close proximity to the Jbeil District, and is only 25 minutes away from it by car.

To make travelling easier and safer, two highways connecting to the Laklouk region have been newly constructed:

• The first highway leads to St. Charbel’s Monastery in Annaya from Jbeil, then to Laklouk through the village of Ehmej.
• The second highway leads to Laklouk through Qartaba from Nahr Ibrahim.

Laklouk is mostly visited by families all year round for the enjoyment of various outdoor activities such as biking, hiking, skiing, snowboarding, and camping. However, its lack of ski resorts and mountain communities has failed to provide its visitors with a complete mountain experience up until Le Sommet was established on a mountain top in Matkoube, Mazraat El Saiyad.

We understand that deciding on a mountain chalet is about more than meeting your accommodation needs. It is about finding your home away from home–a lavish, modern place to host and welcome family and friends.

At Le Sommet, you can experience a unique lifestyle tailored to suit your needs at your budget. Here are seven reasons why Le Sommet is the right destination for a memorable and self-pampered holiday!

1. An Eco-Friendly Community with Panoramic Mountain Views

According to the latest European studies conducted in the Middle East, Matkoube village is reported to have the best air quality in the MEA region. It is pollution free and 100% organic. Its clear and unpolluted atmosphere ranks Matkoube as the iconic spot for astrophotography. Photographers are frequently on site aiming at the stars.

Our community has built chalets of different sizes and specifications on the mountain’s slopes, each with a stunning window view of Laklouk. It is conveniently located within 300 meters (approx 980 feet) of Laklouk’s ski slopes.

Our main goal at Le Sommet is to help preserve nature by developing and encouraging an Eco-friendly community. We therefore commit ourselves to the following steps in hope of turning them into our lifestyle:

• Maintain the greenery

With the intention of preserving the natural greenery of the location, we chose the build our community on rocky slopes to ensure environmental protection. We also set out to plant over a hundred trees surrounding the community.

Only 15% of our investment area is accommodation while the remaining 65% is dedicated to developing a greener neighborhood.

Le Sommet is located near an 80,000spm mountain, which inspires our team to expand its afforestation project over the entire mountain area and, on top of that, to plan toward a 10 kilometer long hiking trail from Le Sommet along the mountain’s scope.

• Conserve water and electricity

A great deal of natural resources is used to produce electricity and conserve fresh water. Energy is used to pump water from fresh water sources into pipes and our homes for direct use.

At Le Sommet, we conserve our water by collecting precipitation (snow/hail/rain) in rain barrel systems to provide our community from. We have also installed energy-efficient lighting to reduce day-to-day energy consumption.

• Pave internal streets

Since we plan on improving the environment, we have adopted methods to help decrease the risk of soil erosion and the contamination of groundwater or watershed pollution.

In addition to benefiting the natural environment, the primary goal of this project is tourist attraction, as 50% of the project’s investments are set to achieve it. Tourists may rent chalets and enjoy amenities that include restaurants, hotels, spas, pools, and outdoor activities organized by the community club.
