Development
The Master Plan brings forth a study of both environment and water management, a detailed study of ski slopes with an area requirement study, and a pair of golf courses and area requirement study. A market study and a feasibility study have been concluded while additional market studies are continuously conducted to update data and follow market trends in real estate as they emerge. A sizeable portion of the land will be treated as a natural reserve zone for reforestation and will be equipped with various outdoor activities such as hiking, trekking, mountain climbing, camping, activities for scouts, cycling and many other activities.
The Central Hub
The main hub of activities takes place at the very heart of Sannine Zenith Lebanon. Geographically located in the centre of the site, this area is planned as the project’s prime public attraction, and a first-rate destination for non-residents. Housing a series of small hotels, commercial facilities, restaurants, nightclubs, bars, and movie theatres. The central hub will assure parking facilities within touching distance of the main ski lifts. This in turn confirms the center as the project’s most prominent public destination.
The Villages
Responding to the call of the project several villages will be developed each with a particular and distinctive character; in contrast, with the main node these villages will ensure more privacy, a higher degree of exclusivity and seclusion to the residents. All villages will contain a center affording common activities to ensure as much dynamism and self-sufficiency as possible. The villages are strategically located to forever capture the breathtaking views of the surrounding areas.
Infrastructure
Right from the very onset of the project the infrastructure studies conducted were aimed at ensuring that infrastructure items could be constructed, as well as developing a budget for feasibility studies. In addition, the project is equipped with one central heliport located witin the Mountain Village vicinity and is designed to maintain comfort and practicality for project users.
Equipment
Sannine Zenith Lebanon will be equipped with a snow clearing station and snowplows. This is in line with other ski resorts in the area and where procedures laid down by the Ministry of Public Works for the clearance of snow from public roads and private resort roads in winter are carried out in full accordance.
Skiing Slopes
The Northern part of the site equipped with the most appropriate skiing slopes, will be completely dedicated to skiing activities and preserved as virgin land. Offering a variety of skiing activities the ski slopes will extend their pleasures with slopes ranging from those for beginners to those for advanced skiing, for cross-country skiing and for snowboarding and from elevations ranging from 2000 meters of altitude to 2500 meters of altitude.
A technical study was conducted to test the viability of the ski slopes and to assess the technical feasibility of skiing on the site. These studies also revealed that the length and slope variety of Sannine Zenith Lebanon are comparable to international ski resorts worldwide.
