Trekking or walking in Morocco offers a rich and colourful experience, allowing a privileged and unhurried contact with a world scarcely changed in a thousand years; friendly peoples and ancient cultures, spectacular scenery and remarkable refreshing activity.Villages Hikes & Toubkal Ascent Treks & Mgoun TreksThe High Atlas, the greatest mountain range of North Africa, is perhaps the most beautiful and intriguing part of Morocco. It has retained a remoteness which until recent decades was virtually complete, and contains villages where the way of life has changed little for centuries. Outsiders to the mountains are constantly surprised when they
encounter the friendliness and openness of the villagers, as they go
about their everyday tasks. Hiking in the High Atlas is one of the
best possible experiences in Morocco – feasible exploration of
stunning natural beauty, and of a rigidly individual world. ITINERARIES
N.B : We can personalize all the Trekking programs mentioned on this web site or create a new ones according to the costumer's enquiry Anti Atlas Anti Atlas is the most exposed massif in west south, we reach it
by the west of Agadir or by the north of Taroudant by the mountains
of high atlas occidental. Anti Atlas means in Arabic the small
Atlas, because the top is at 2500 m ( the highest point is Jebel
Aklim),rich in their authenticity, you will discover their valleys,
tresors, and specially their Berber people. We will traverse the old
beautiful villages and the gorges, cretes, plateaux and summit in
the field of almondier and arganiers, 2 wonderful trees in this
region. The almond flowers in January, February and give fruit in
July. The drive from Tafraoute to Tiznit is one of the most
spectacularly beautiful that you can make in Morocco. The amazing
splendour of the Anti Atlas Mountains, the contrast between oasis
greenery and barren mountain slopes and the bizarre lunar landscape
around Tafraoute make this drive very worthwhile and memorable. The Ameln Valley (Valley of Almonds) offers some of the most
spectacular nature scenes of Morocco, as well as some of the most
beautiful villages. The Ameln Valley is known as the valley of 26
villages, all pink and red brick, nestling on the sides of the
mountains.
Atlantic Coastline Hiking Essaouira, the ancient and mythical Mogador, which has
become one of the most trendy coast spot, you will enjoy splendid
hiking between dunes and ocean at the slow rhythm of a camel caravan.
Sometimes walk near the sea along the immense beaches which merge
with the dunes, and sometimes along vertiginous cliffs. Splendid
sunsets. There will be Turkish baths, synagogues shops selling spices and riads on hidden streets. You will notice the European character of this cute town as well. There is a little possibility that you see hustlers here. The atmosphere is more relaxed that the rest of Morocco. There are coffee houses around as well as European style patisseries. For lunch go back to the harbour and sit a while watching seagulls following the boats and you can have fish at one of the places at the harbour. Once more you will notice that the shops here are much different than in Agadir and you will be treated more as a person than cash-machine and that is a good feeling while travelling. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jebel Sahro Sandwiched between the High Atlas and the Sahara, the remote mountain region of Jebel Sahro is the perfect destination for a winter sunshine trek. Our 10-day trek takes us into the heart of the Jebel Sahro, amongst rocky peaks and plateau and through occasional green oases, where we find the red mud-built villages of the Berber people. Following quiet trails through a variety of spectacular scenery, we also have the option to trek to the summit of the highest peak in the range, Amalou n'Mansour (2712m./8895ft.). During this season, with warm days and crystal clear visibility, the views northwards to the sparkling snow-capped peaks of the Atlas are quite magnificent. An exciting drive across the High Atlas to the souks and snake-charmers of Marrakech provides a fitting conclusion to this classic Moroccan adventure.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jebel Sirwa Trekking in Sirwa Mountains has been popular for years, as it offers both a physical challenge and great nature, but can easily be done without local guides. There are plenty of elements in nature that easily will help you navigate around the area. The nature here is absolutely on the extreme side, as so much else in the Anti Atlas. Most of it is barren, the mountains are often totally different from anything else you have seen before, and the villages have often been formed in close cooperation with nature. The goal of trekking here, and for once there is really just one itinerary, is the Jebel Sirwa at 3,305 meters above sea level. The Jebel Sirwa is an isolated volcanic peak, which is quite possible to climb for even inexperienced mountaineers.
