Hotels in Upper Galilee, Israel
Upper Galilee is in northern Israel, stretching from the Mediterranean to the Golan Heights, and it's famous for lush green mountains, ancient Jewish towns, and the Hula Valley bird migration. The climate has mild, wet winters (around 50°F/10°C) perfect for hiking in the Banias Nature Reserve to see waterfalls and Roman ruins, and hot, dry summers (up to 95°F/35°C) ideal for kayaking on the Jordan River or bird-watching at the Hula Lake during spring and fall migrations. You can explore the 2,000-year-old city of Tzfat with its narrow alleyways and artists' galleries, or in winter, ski on Mount Hermon (the only ski site in Israel) with temperatures often below 32°F/0°C at the peak.
