Tips

Good to know

Snow is never guaranteed: the ski season usually runs from December to March, depending on the year. It is much colder than Marrakech at any time of year, so bring a warm layer. The last part of the road is winding.

Every trip is private and can be adjusted: dates, pace, stops and the comfort level of your accommodation. Prices depend on group size and season, so we send a written quote with everything that is included.
