Hosted group trip
Atlas villages, gorges and Mount Toubkal with a host, a small group and official mountain guides.
Walking is the best way to meet Morocco: Berber villages, terraced valleys, mint tea in a family home and the silence of the High Atlas. A hosted hiking trip lets you do it with people who love the outdoors as much as you do.
Hosts are hiking clubs, outdoor creators and trek leaders. Official mountain guides lead every walk, mules carry the luggage on trekking days, and our team organises the gîtes, the food and the transport.
Routes go from easy valley walks to the summit of Mount Toubkal (4,167 m), North Africa's highest peak, and are often finished with a few days in the Sahara.
