Mount Lebanon (Arabic: جَبَل لُبْنَان, romanized: jabal lubnān, Lebanese Arabic pronunciation: [ˈʒabal ləbˈneːn]; Syriac: ܛܘܪ ܠܒ݂ܢܢ, romanized: ṭūr leḇnān, Western Syriac pronunciation: [tˤur lewˈnɔn]; Latin: Libanus) is a mountain range in Lebanon. It is about 170 km (110 mi) long^[1] and averages above 2,500 m (8,200 ft) in elevation, with its peak at 3,088 m (10,131 ft). The range provides a typical alpine climate year-round.^[2]

Mount Lebanon is well-known for its snow-covered mountains, home to surviving Lebanese cedar forests and diverse high-altitude flora and fauna. The name Lebanon itself originates from the white, snow-covered tops of this mountain range.^[3]
