Neve Ativ (Template:Lang-he-n), is a small Alpine-styled Israeli settlement (moshav) in the Golan Heights, founded in 1972, and located on the slopes of Mount Hermon, Template:Km to mi west of Majdal Shams.[1]

About 37 families live there. The name Ativ is an acronym for four fallen soldiers from the Egoz Reconnaissance Unit killed in action in the Golan: Avraham Hameiri, Tuvia Ellinger, Yair Elegarnty, and Binyamin Hadad.

The moshav's main industry is tourism. Neve Ativ operates a thriving ski resort on Template:Km to mi of ski runs on the slopes of the Template:Ft to m-above-sea-level Mount Hermon (whose peak is actually held by Syria), about Template:Km to mi from Damascus, and is the closest organized lodging area for visitors to the area.[2][3]

The ski resort was wrecked in the Yom Kippur War. One season later, however, it was back in business as the only Israeli ski resort.[4] Frank Riley wrote in the Los Angeles Times, "This is a mountain and an experience that should happen at least once in every skier's lifetime."[5] The ski season lasts three months, on average (December-March).[6] In one weekend in January 2000, the ski site had 11,000 visitors.[7] Later that month, the leaders of Neve Ativ expressed a hope to turn the ski resort into a joint Israeli-Syrian venture, opening it on both the Israeli and Syrian sides as an international tourist attraction.[8]

Israel and Syria fought major battles in the area in 1967 and 1973, and it remains a strategic military position.[9]
