Oukaimeden — Ski Resort and Hiking in the High Atlas

Overview

Perched at 2,600 m in the High Atlas, Oukaimeden is Africa's highest ski resort. In summer the site transforms into a hiking and trekking destination with breathtaking panoramas over the surrounding summits. In winter the snow-covered slopes welcome skiers and snowboarders. Less than an hour from Marrakech, it provides a striking contrast with the animation of the medina.
