WALKING & WALKING HOLIDAYS IN MOROCCO.
Take a hike – go on, we know you want to! Walking in Morocco means mighty Atlas mountains to conquer, charming Berber villages to discover, and exciting Anti Atlas routes to explore.
Whether you’d like to enjoy a walking holiday, or simply an afternoon’s amble, you’re definitely in the right place. What are you waiting for? It’s time to explore one of Morocco’s best assets – the great outdoors!
Weather
In the mountains the weather is relatively moderate throughout the year but conditions vary significantly with height, season and between day and night, with the possibility of a dramatic change at any time. In the winter snow is likely in the Middle and High Atlas ranges, though often only on the highest peaks, and evenings cold. In the summer the protection against the sun is vital.
To maximise your enjoyment of a trek in Morocco, we advise being fully prepared and that includes the right clothing and equipment for Morocco Trekking.
walking & walking Holidays Morocco Trekking guides
We will look after you very well: our excellent local guides have good language skills, significant guiding experience and are appropriately insured and qualified. Your guide will offer an insight into local culture in a respectful way, provide you with simple but tasty local food, enable you to communicate with local people (who speak Berber), may be able to adapt the route according to your abilities and local conditions, provide hard-to-come-by maps when necessary (the ranges can be very difficult to navigate and many areas are very remote) and take care of moving all your luggage to the place where your trek ends.
