The small village of Merzouga is located in the South East of Morocco, in the middle of the desert and it is well known for its…skiing slopes! As strange as this might sound, this is still the mere truth. We met two people from Quebec there, who came to Morocco mainly to see those slopes. In fact behind the oasis of the village you can find skiing slopes as Alberto Tomba would never have dreamt of. Ahmed, the camels owner showed them to the people from Quebec. His camels can carry the skiers till the bottom of the dune but they do not walk them up to the top of it. Therefore the remaining 350 metres quickly appears as a never ending distance especially when the temperature rises up to 40°C. Going down those little hills is not that easy either. Therefore trying a schuss remains the best thing to do to if you want to get some speed. After a dozen of slopes, you will definitely enjoy having a nice mint tea glass at the bottom of the dune. There is nothing more refreshing after such an exhausting day !
