The range that crosses Morocco holds Mount Toubkal, North Africa’s highest peak at 4,167 metres. Clay Berber villages cling to the slopes, and green valleys like Ourika suit easy day hikes, while winter snow turns Oukaimeden at 3,200 metres into a ski station beneath the summit.
From Marrakech, book a day trip to the Ourika Valley with lunch in a local Berber home, or climb Toubkal over two days from the refuge at 3,200 metres.
