The town's new page header shows Bekaa Kafra in deep snow: terraced apple and cherry orchards stepping down toward the Qadisha Valley, with the high ridge of Qurnat as-Sawda beyond.

The drive from Beirut and the airport up to the highest village in Lebanon — the route through Bsharri, roughly how long it takes, how to travel it by coach and shared taxi if you don't drive, and how the mountain road closes in a winter storm.

The dates the village lives by, always sorted to what comes next: the Maronite feast of Saint Charbel (the third Sunday of July — this year the 19th), the Roman-calendar feast on the 24th, and the summer months when the village fills again. The feast Sunday is computed each year, so the page stays right on its own.

Bekaa Kafra, the highest village in Lebanon, is now on the platform with four tools built for life at 1,800 metres. A new Snow & the Road Up tool reads the mountain forecast for the village's own altitude and says in plain words how much snow is coming and lying now — pointing you to the official channels for whether the road is open. There's also a guide to visiting Saint Charbel's birthplace with the feast dates, a place for residents and the village's diaspora to share local picks, and the emergency numbers and nearest hospital a household or visitor needs.
