Morocco is a fantastic hiking destination. The High Atlas rises above 4,000 metres, with Berber villages clinging to the slopes, walnut orchards in the valleys and mule tracks that have linked communities for centuries. Further south, the gorges and the volcanic Jbel Saghro offer completely different landscapes.

Our hiking and trekking tours in Morocco range from easy day walks to the classic Mount Toubkal climb and multi-day treks across the Atlas. You walk with official mountain guides, mules carry the luggage, and you sleep in village guesthouses, mountain refuges or tents.

We adapt every trek to your level and combine it, if you wish, with Marrakech, the kasbahs and a night in the Sahara.

Best Time to Go

The best seasons for hiking in Morocco are spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October). In summer, the High Atlas is cooler than the plains and good for trekking, but avoid the low valleys at midday. In winter, Toubkal is covered in snow and requires crampons and winter experience, while the Jbel Saghro and the southern gorges are ideal.
