Mitzpe Shelegim, Mountain summit in Mount Hermon, Israel.
Mitzpe Shelegim reaches an elevation of 2,224 meters above sea level, providing views over Lebanon, Syria, the Golan Heights, and the Mediterranean Sea.
The summit has maintained strategic military significance throughout modern Israeli history due to its position near the borders of Lebanon and Syria.
The name Mitzpe Shelegim translates from Hebrew as 'Snow Observation Point', reflecting the winter conditions that transform the mountain landscape.
Visitors need to verify weather conditions and obtain necessary permits before planning their trip, as access may be restricted in certain areas.
During winter months, the summit accumulates substantial snow coverage, making it one of the few locations in Israel suitable for skiing activities.
