Authentic Adventure

Escape the ordinary and discover a truly unforgettable experience.


Imagine days spent carving through the rugged Atlas Mountains on exhilarating backcountry ski runs, from 600m to 1200m descents. You’ll summit and ski down multiple 3000m and 4000m peaks, African skiing adventures you won’t find anywhere else in Africa or from any other travel company.

But this is more than just a ski trip. Morocco, a land of inspiration that has called to explorers, famed artists, and writers for centuries. Walk where greats like William Thesiger, Henri Matisse, and Paul Bowles found their muse. Prepare to be overwhelmed by the symphony of contrasts: the crisp white sun against towering golden limestone cliffs, lush palm oases juxtaposed with snow-capped 4000-meter peaks, and the tantalizing aromas of slow-cooked tagines bursting with flavour. Witness robed shepherds traversing the high desert alongside flocks of goats and sheep, and wander through ancient medinas bustling with storytellers and artisans.

Travel beyond the tourist trail and challenge your self in the heart of Morocco and North Africa. You’ll find yourself both exhilarated and humbled by the climbs and descents and immersed in a captivating culture on this inspirational journey.

Testimonials

As we reflect on the trip, we both felt like it was one of our best adventures with so many positives. I think you have done a great job with ACA and your staff. We really appreciated all the attention to details with everything from transportation to food. And the food! What feasts we had throughout the trip! Highlights of the trip were in the mountains and small villages. Skiing was fun, adventurous, challenging, and in some amazing, vast and beautiful areas. We both really appreciated Kris’s guiding style and quick assessment of the group’s needs.
