Ha-Pisga Trail

The peak of Mount Meron, the highest mountain in the Galilee, is surrounded by a path that serves as a crown. An abundance of Mediterranean vegetation accompanies the path and great views open up to the landscape below. A circular route suitable for the whole family. The route surrounds the peak of Mount Meron, the highest of the country’s peaks, with the exception of Hermon. The path allows viewing of the landscape from all directions.

Along the way, there are balconies where it is convenient to enjoy the wide view of the mountains of the Upper Galilee and Lebanon, the Golan Heights and the Hermon, the coastal plain, and parts of the Lower Galilee. In winter, the peak is coated with snow, often boasting the blooming of yellow lilies, orchids, and other types of flowers.

Enjoy a pleasant trip between an impressive landscape and wonderful blossoms, on one of the most beautiful short and circular hiking trails in Israel. Every season a surprise awaits you, due to the multitude of species of plants and the many orchids that bloom along the route. From the parking lot, the summit trail begins – a circular trail about 1.5 km long, suitable for the whole family. The trail surrounds Mount Meron, which is the highest of the country’s peaks, with the exception of Mount Hermon. Due to the great height of Meron, it has a lot of precipitation. The trail allows for a spectacular view of the Galilee!

We recommend combining the trip with a tour of the Buza Ice Cream visitor center in Kibbutz Sasa.
