Traditionally considered to be Berber territory, an Atlas Mountains Trekking holiday, provides miles of breathtaking scenery between the coast and the Sahara Desert.  Dominated by Mount Toubkal the slopes have dense forests containing cedar, pine, cork and oak trees and there are fertile valleys and tracts of pasture where livestock can feed.

Less than an hour's drive from Marrakech, the breathtaking Atlas Mountains stretch across Morocco. Discover the beautiful scenery, amazing colours and the incredible Berber villages of the High Atlas range. Active travellers may enjoy a half day trek in the mountains on foot or on horseback. Your trek ends with the opportunity to experience the amazing view from the Tadawt plateau followed by a refreshing mint tea in a Berber home.

We have handpicked Kasbah Tamadot and Kasbah Bab Ourika as our suggested accommodation for your stay. The Atlas Mountains are ideal to couple with a stay in Marrakech followed by relaxation on the Atlantic Coast.
