Tour Details

Discover the beauty of the High Atlas on this 2-day trek. In the higher elevations you’ll find mostly evergreen alpines with some occasional undergrowth, while the lower elevations have diverse valleys of walnut, apple, cherry and other fruit trees as well as mountain orchids, poppies and irises.

This trek is perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in Berber culture without climbing the highest peaks. You will visit traditional villages, see spectacular waterfalls, and cross mountain passes with stunning panoramic views.
