Itinerary description

We hiked from Neve Ativ to the peak of Mt. Hermon with a view of Syria
Then took the cable-car downhill and hitch-hiked back to Neve Ativ.
The hike up took about 6 hours.
The hitch-hiking was quite easy as there were many people who came by car and parked at the lower station of the cable-car. (also called upper parking lot).

The price of the cable-car in both direction is 54 NIS, downhill only was 30 NIS.

This is definitely not an easy hike. There no technical difficulties, but it is long and steep with a lot of elevation gain.

The weather was good about 18C and sunny.

Check out this video recording from the hike.
