WHAT DO WE DO?
The mountains of Morocco are our passion. We specialise in tailor-made, guided High Atlas trekking tours. We can't wait to share the beauty and magic of this place's unspoilt corners with you. We'll take you to the places that most visitors never see for an exhilarating, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Our extensive knowledge and focus on safety have made us the top choice for thousands of happy customers from all over the world...
WHY THE HIGH ATLAS?
It's the perfect, year-round destination for anyone who enjoys walking, nature, and spending time under a thousand-star sky. A trek through the spectacular High Atlas is not just one of the most scenic hikes in the world — it's also an immersion into the culture of the Berber people, the original inhabitants of Morocco. Few roads penetrate this rugged mountain stronghold, where the agrarian way of life has changed very little in a hundred years. We are locals, we know the locals, and we'll give you an insider perspective of this unique culture. You'll experience the Berber hospitality and discover a simpler way of life.
WHY US?
We're all longstanding, full-time residents of the region — we know it well, and we know what makes it special. We also know how to combine our expertise with the best walks and the highest levels of personal service. The result is an exceptional holiday with an insight into the real High Atlas. Thanks to the fact that we've shown Morocco to thousands of people from all over the world, we know the off-the-beaten-path areas that you won't see with anyone else. Leave the legwork to us! We'll organize everything for you and make sure to give you the personalized adventure you crave.
Planning Your Atlas Mountains Trek
The practical answers first-time visitors ask us most — with more detail one click away.
When to go
The best seasons are spring (April–June) and autumn (September–November) — comfortable temperatures and clear skies. Summer is ideal for high-altitude routes above the Marrakech heat, and from December to February snow settles above 2,500m for winter ascents of Mount Toubkal. In short: the Atlas is a year-round destination; we adjust the route to the season.
Read our full FAQ »How fit do I need to be?
There is a trek for every level. Gentle walks cover 2–5 hours a day on easy terrain — fine for anyone who enjoys a regular walk, and families with children from age 7. Moderate routes run 4–6 hours a day with some climbs. No experience is needed for most treks, including summer ascents of Toubkal.
See our grading system »Getting here from Marrakech
The gateway to the High Atlas is the village of Imlil — 65 km (about 1.5 hours by car) from Marrakech. We arrange private transfers from your Marrakech hotel or riad straight to the trailhead, with pick-up times built around your flights.
Transfers & transport »What's included
Trek prices typically include a licensed English-speaking mountain guide, all meals cooked fresh on trek, accommodation in gîtes, homestays or mountain refuges, mules to carry your luggage, a cook and muleteers, and Marrakech transfers. Flights, insurance and tips are not included — each tour page lists the exact details.
How booking works »Tailor-Made Hikes
