A National Park with a great amplitude of altitude<\/div>\n

First National Park created in 1942, in order to preserve the geological and landscape heritage, the fauna and flora.<\/em> Toubkal Park covers a total area of 39,351 hectares bounded to the west by the N’Fis valley and to the east by the Ourika valley.<\/em><\/p>\n

Accessible from the village of Amsouzart, the central part of the Toubkal National Park is certainly the most interesting to visit. This part of the High Atlas has high massifs culminating between 3,600 and over 4,000 meters above sea level as well as the high plateau of Tazaghart (3,995 m) and Lake Ifni (2,295 m).<\/em><\/p>\n

Reaching 4167 m at Jbel Toubkal, the highest point in North Africa, the park is spread over a great amplitude of altitude which gives it a very great geographical, geological, climatic and biological diversity.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

3 different ecosystems<\/div>\n

The Toubkal National Park has 4 different bio climates: semi-arid, sub-humid, humid and very cold in the high mountains. Annual precipitation ranges from 550 mm (low altitude) to over 900 mm (high altitude), with regular snowfall varying in size and duration depending on the season and year. <\/em><\/p>\n
