SKI TOUR IN HIGH ATLAS MOROCCO - 5 days

Overview

Experience the ultimate adventure with our 5-day ski touring expedition in the breathtaking High Atlas Mountains. Renowned as one of the most exotic ski touring destinations, Morocco offers a unique skiing experience amidst a landscape more commonly associated with deserts and beaches.

Our journey begins amidst the towering peaks of the High Atlas, with Toubkal, North Africa's highest point at 4167 meters, serving as our majestic backdrop. Nestled amidst these lofty summits, just 80 kilometers south of Marrakech, Toubkal and its surrounding mountains create a natural barrier, ensuring a consistent snowfall throughout the winter months.

As we traverse the pristine snowfields, we'll be enchanted by the charm of the valleys, each offering its own distinct beauty and allure. Our accommodations will range from cozy mountain shelters to traditional Berber houses, providing a genuine taste of local hospitality.

Throughout our expedition, we'll be accompanied by a dedicated local team, including experienced guides, skilled cooks, and porters with mules to assist with transporting our equipment. With each step, we'll uncover hidden valleys and encounter breathtaking vistas, immersing ourselves in the rich tapestry of Morocco's mountainous terrain.
