Oukaimeden is 74 km south of Marrakech by a mountain road that climbs from the Ourika Valley. By car or taxi the drive takes about 90 minutes from the city. The road is well surfaced to the resort but the upper sections are steep and winding — a four-wheel drive vehicle is advisable in snow conditions, and the road may be closed entirely after heavy snowfall.
Grand taxis from Marrakech's Bab er-Rob taxi stand run to the Ourika Valley, from where shared taxis continue up to Oukaimeden in ski season. In summer the public transport connection is less reliable. Many visitors arrange day-trip transport through a Marrakech riad or travel agency, which handles the logistics and keeps the option open to stop at villages in the Ourika Valley on the way up or down.
