Atlas Mountain Trekking

Starting with a hike up to the pass of Tizi ‘n Touati to experience panoramic views of the High Atlas range, this trip has you exploring alpine landscapes overgrown with wildflowers and herbs, following rivers and trekking waterfalls. You will experience the local culture, spending the night in a village gite as well as searching for ancient rock carvings and hiking to the summit of Mt Toubkal, the highest mountain in North Africa.

On this trip you will traverse the stunning Azzadene Valley, passing traditional Berber mountain villages and see rushing mountain streams surrounded by lush walnut groves that lead up towards the peaks of the High Atlas. Walk up the valley towards the pass at Tizi n Mzik (2479m) which offers dramatic views, before descending down into Imlil. If you’re feeling energetic you can take a slight route detour to include the D’Irhoulidene waterfalls.

You will enjoy beautiful landscapes along the way between Marrakech and Ouarzazate, the doorway to the Sahara desert and visit the UNESCO world heritage site Ait Benhaddou. Experience the local culture with an overnight stay in a local family’s home in Tinzert, as well as taking a sunset camel ride to spend the night in a nomadic tent under shooting stars.

Start your first day trekking with a steady climb that takes you to the Marabout Sidi Chamharouch, a place where pilgrims come from across Morocco to heal the sick bewitched by evil spirits before continuing your trip south to the Toubkal Refuge. The next morning you will start to climb this beautiful peak. Toubkal is the highest in North Africa at 4167m, with impressive panoramic views. After lunch, head to Imlil to transfer back to Marrakech.
