Snow

For the trekkers booked on winter ascents of Toubkal and Mgoun- snow has arrived on the top of the High Atlas! We have just come back from Setti Fatma, and could see that there was a fair covering today. Its also a nice sunny day there as well, even if 15C colder than Marrakech.

It may not stay, but there should be a good base covering for the ascent of Toubkal in January and crampons and ice axes will be needed. Toubkal and Mgoun are serious ascents in winter, and experience with winter climbing is needed before tackling the summits.
Just to mention , we are proud to use the local Moroccan guides that will be the lynchpin of your trek. The guides that work with us are all berbers, have all passed the Mountain guiding course from Tabant, and a lot of their salary goes to their families in the High Atlas mountains thus helping the berber people. Using local mountain guides rather than European guides also gives you the chance of seeing the culture of the berbers through their own eyes, and the comfort of knowing that these guides have been born and have grown up in these mountains.
