About
Oukaïmeden sits in the High Atlas about 70 kilometers from Marrakech and is the best-known and largest ski area in North Africa. The runs lie between roughly 2,610 and 3,260 meters, served by seven lifts including what is often cited as the highest ski lift in Africa, with around 10 kilometers of marked slopes. Snow is natural only and unreliable, so the season runs at best from January into March, and the same slopes become a known bouldering destination in summer.
