Full-Day Guided Tour: High Atlas Mountains

A group walking a dirt mountain path with the Atlas range rising behind them

Overview


An hour south of Marrakech the road begins to climb and the valleys narrow into terraced villages built from red earth. The day is spent in Berber country: tea poured in a family home, around forty-five minutes of guided walking on village trails to a waterfall, and lunch at a local restaurant in the valley. Transport is by air-conditioned car, van or 4WD depending on the route, with a multilingual driver-guide throughout and a return to your hotel by late afternoon.

  • Berber family home visit with a tea ceremony
  • Around 45 minutes of guided walking to the waterfall
  • Terraced valleys and village trails of the High Atlas
  • Brand-new air-conditioned car, van or 4WD as the road requires
  • Friendly multilingual driver-guide for the full day
  • Back at your hotel by around 5pm
