Charoun or Sharoun (Arabic: شارون), is a Lebanese village located in the Aley District.
Charoun is one of the biggest villages in the Aley District, (10.5 square km), and wholly Druze.
[citation needed] The town receives heavy snow during the wintertime, which may reach a level higher than one metre high after particularly bad storms.
