Ski touring on Toubkal (High Atlas)

Description

An atypical destination, which over the years remains so beautiful! It is always so impressive to ski facing the desert, to be skiing in the morning and on the terrace in T-shirt afterwards.

This year, Morocco will also be the opportunity to ski corridors, in addition to the summit of Toubkal (4167m). There is indeed a beautiful north face located in a valley near the village of Imlil, which will bring you all the sensations of moderately steep slopes ski! With the advantages of this destination: no or very few other skiers in the same area, a snow often well stabilized by the variations of temperature, and a porterage in donkey (the top!) which makes it possible to go up to reach the snow in sport shoes when it is a little further than the place of accommodation!

This trip will also be an opportunity to (re) discover the Moroccan charm, the endless mint tea, pastries, souks, oranges, etc ...
