9 DAYS COMBINED SKI TOURING IN TOUBKAL & SAHARA RESERT TRIP - SKIFAHREN IN MAROKKO BERGEN

The High Atlas Mountains are one of the most exotic ski touring destinations, and skiing in this country that evokes more desert and beaches is an experience that will not leave you indifferent. Toubkal, the highest point of North Africa to 4167 m is surrounded by high mountains forming a barrier, 80 km south of Marrakech. This, as well as the altitude and the collection of valleys allow a constant snow during the winter. During this skiing tour in Morocco, we will stay in shelters or Berbers houses, and each step will bring us to the discovery of a new valley, and unusual and beautiful landscapes. We will also be accompanied by a local team: guide, cook, porters and mules to carry our equipment when we have to walk in the valley. Original!
