Skiing in Morocco

While North Africa might at first glance appear to be a strange destination for skiing, in actual fact the industry like many sectors in Morocco is growing quickly and is already a sought-after international sporting destination. It's not just snow skiing that is attracting discerning individuals though activities such as cross-country skiing and freestyle skiing are all easily available.

It's common for Moroccans to travel from places such as Fez as well as cities such as Rabat, Casablanca and Marrakech in order to enjoy the snow. There is a real choice of runs available from new entrants to the sport to more experienced and adventure-seeking skiers for whom there are the inviting slopes which can reach above 10,000 feet.

Oukaimeden is the largest ski resort and is renowned for having the region's highest lift. It's less than 50 miles from Marrakech, and is the premier skiing area of Morocco. Substantial investment has already been provided by investors who are flocking to what is essentially the Middle East and Africa's only golf and ski resort.

The skiing season runs from December to April and there are already plans to expand this through use of artificial snow. Oukaimeden itself is expected to capitalise on this growth and encompass full consumer and business amenities as well as residential accommodation to support the expected influx of tourists.
