Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Start and finish your trip in bustling Marrakech, the home of your Feature Stay accommodation at Riad La Cle D’or – a luxurious riad in the heart of the medina.
Experience the diversity of guided hikes and treks through Morocco – you'll take trails through the Atlas Mountains, then head through the semi-desert landscape to the Atlantic Ocean for a coastline hike in Essaouira.
Stay in the very heart of the Atlas Mountains in the Aurocher Hotel, where your room opens out onto breathtaking views of the mountainous terrain and forests of pine trees.
Hike through traditional Amazigh villages and soak in the views of the High Atlas mountain scenery near Imlil and Ouirgane. Along the way, you’ll enjoy picnics with a view – full of fresh, local ingredients.
Get a local insight into authentic Moroccan culture with a cooking class, bread making demonstration, herbal tea demonstration and a few home-cooked meals with local hosts.
Is this trip right for you?
While this is a relatively low altitude trip (maximum sleeping altitude is 1740m) you’ll need a good level of fitness for the hiking portion of this trip, as you will be walking up six hours a day some days. You’ll ascend and descend uneven trails, so it’s recommended you use hiking poles.
Summer temperatures can be very hot, especially on trails that have little or no shade. It’s essential to use sun protection, wear layers to combat the heat and drink plenty of water. Please consider the time of the year you wish to travel and your suitability to that season.
To get to the best hiking trails in the region you’ll cover a lot of distance on this trip, but all in the comfort of our private vehicle.
In 2025, Ramadan will take place from 16 February to 18 March. Travelling during this holy month can be a rewarding cultural experience, however some regular services may not be available during the daytime, such as restaurants or coffee bars, and occasionally travel can be disrupted by events. Your leader will adjust the itinerary accordingly, but please consider your travel arrangements carefully before booking travel for this period.
