Hoher Atlas

Surfing in Africa - we've known this at least since the first part of the cult film 'Endless Summer', in which Robert August and Mike Hynson travel the world in search of the best waves as prototypes of the modern surftraveler. Since then, there have been plenty of reasons in the relevant circles for a trip to the west coast of Africa. But why not combine it with a descent on frozen water and use the time without waves to skin up a four-thousand-meter peak? Nothing unusual in itself, as the High Atlas has plenty of high mountains. We set off on a journey to a country with plenty of sun, desert, heat, foreign culture, exotic food and unfamiliar scents - and almost 3500 km of coastline and a high mountain range.

Morocco - many people only know it from Casablanca. But a trip to the northwest African coastal state is also worthwhile on skis.
