8 DAYS SKI TOURING IN THE HIGH ATLAS MOUNTAINS

Level:Type :

Period: from January till March

Length: 8 Days




Enjoy the winter months in the High Atlas. Morocco's mountains are a paradise for snow climbers and ski fans. We start most of our ski-tours at the Toubkal-Hut (3,200m / 10,499ft). Our itinerary starts at Imlil (1,900m). We ascend the well-defined mule trail above the eastern side of the Assif Reraya to the hamlet and shrine of Sidi Chamhorough (2,200m / 7,218ft). From here we can usually continue in the snow to the Toubkal-Hut (3,200m / 10,499ft). The mules which carry our baggage from Imlil will return here as they cannot continue in the snow. Our baggage will now be carried by local people.
