Morocco is quite simply, an incredible trekking destination. The Atlas Mountains host several 4,000m+ peaks and the mountain landscape is dramatic and beautiful, dotted with ancient small Berber villages and rushing melt water streams.

Our treks in Morocco are available to book any day for groups of two or more people. We do not offer scheduled group treks, but if you would prefer to join a group (or are travelling alone), we usually have several treks departing each week that you can join.

The Atlas Mountains in winter:Trekking is available throughout the winter in the Atlas Mountains. For the vast majority of people the best option is our three day valleys trek, which stays mostly below the snow-line with fantastic views and traditional Berber villages. This can be extended to a four or five day trek on request. It is possible to arrange Toubkal climbs in winter (Nov - March), but we require prior experience with crampons and ice axes before attempting this climb. More information here.

We recommend combining a trek with a couple of days in a nice riad in Marrakech, and all treks are available to book with a standard boutique Marrakech package or as trek alone. We can also combine treks with Essaouira, the coast and the trips out to the Sahara.

Berber Villages Treks


Berber Villages Treks
Treks Berber villagesBerber Villages Trek
The Berber people have made these mountains their home for centuries, and although their life is simple and rustic, they are incredibly hospitable and only too eager to invite you in for a mint tea. Despite the often harsh landscape, the Berbers will always offer you a winning smile as you pass shepherds tending their flocks and locals travelling between villages.
In the valleys below they cultivate beautifully terraced gardens, fruit groves and fields of wheat, barley and vegetables amongst the rocky ground. The region is wild and harsh and the mountains are criss-crossed by mule paths that are the only access ways between villages.

Treks from Marrakech through many little hamlets and Berber villages to the magnificent Western High Atlas Mountains.
