Book description
The Atlas Mountains of Morocco offer an incredible variety of scenery,
climate and terrain, where the Berbers' way of life has changed little
in a thousand years. There are also opportunities to walk and climb
throughout the year, making it a particularly desirable destination for
the outdoor enthusiast. This new edition, now fully updated, provides
you with all the information to help make your trip a successful one.
The guide includes a useful introduction providing all the practical
advice you will require as a visitor to Morocco. It gives detailed
descriptions of walks to the three regions of Toubkal, Mgoun Massif and
Jebel Sahro, and has a separate chapter on other areas for walking in
Morocco. The appendix provides useful addresses, bibliography and a
glossary and information on the traverses and ski-touring possibilities
in the region. Karl Smith is an experienced mountaineer and explorer,
and has written a number of articles and guides, including a guide to
the mountains of Turkey, also published by Cicerone.
