Escape to the High Atlas: Skiing at Oukaïmeden

Did you know you can ski just 1.5 hours from Marrakech? Nestled in the High Atlas Mountains, Oukaïmeden is North Africa’s highest ski resort, peaking at an impressive 3,000 meters. This retro Moroccan ski station boasts 20 runs, ranging from beginner-friendly greens to challenging black slopes. While it may not rival European standards, the charm lies in its uniquely local touch—where else can you ride a donkey to the slopes, rent vintage ski gear, or eat a pipping hot tagline in between runs ?

For thrill-seekers, the off-piste terrain and heli-ski drop-offs offer unparalleled adventure, while beginners can enjoy the simpler slopes. Oukaïmeden is an experience unlike any other—a chance to ski in Africa with breathtaking views and the snowy peaks of Mount Toubkal close by.

We will arrange private transfers from Marrakech directly to the resort
