The picturesque village of Oukaïmeden is located 49 miles/ 78 kilometers south of Marrakesh in the heart of the High Atlas Mountains. The village is perched at 8,530 feet/ 2,600 meters, while the winter sports area clings to the edge of Jebel Attar mountain and has a maximum elevation of 10,603 feet/ 3,232 meters. A single chairlift takes you to the top, where six downhill runs await. Each one is made more challenging by a lack of piste maintenance. There's also a nursery area, a ski school, a family sledging area and a series of intermediate slopes served by four drag lifts. If the latter feel too conventional, you can always hitch a ride to the top of the slope on one of the resort donkeys.
