Experience Adventure and Fun while Trekking Through the Atlas Mountains
A few hours away by air from Europe, the high Atlas Mountains promise you the experience and adventure of a lifetime.
Located near Marrakech, a trek in the Atlas Mountains is exactly what you’re looking for. This fantastic five-day trek, in particular, features some of the tallest peaks in North Africa, covering everything from lush valleys to barren rocks as you make your way through villages and passes.
The trek in the Atlas Mountains will be led by a qualified professional guide, muleteers, and a cook as you make your way through the region, staying in different guesthouses and soaking up the adventure and the fun.
While difficult, trekking through the Atlas Mountains does not require mountaineering experience. The views make it all worthwhile.
We’ll kick off a few hours from Marrakech, allowing you to finish your summit and get back within five days, and then have the freedom to explore Marrakech as you want.
Note: We can arrange all airport transfers and hotel/riads accommodation in Marrakech for you. You can always extend your trip from Marrakech to the Sahara for a more fun experience.
