Walking tours

Haut Atlas – M’Goun

Explore the desert and leave your mark
Give yourself an unforgettable desert experience, discovering breathtaking landscapes and soaking up the Saharan atmosphere. Leave your footprints in the sand, as the evening wind will erase any marks of passage, preserving the integrity of the desert landscape.

Your adventure begins with a drive down to Mhamid, following the ribbon of the Drâa palm grove. You'll be struck by the striking contrast between the green of the irrigated crops and the ochre tones of the desert. You'll have the chance to hike among the colour-changing dunes, with the silhouettes of camels and hikers projected in shifting shadows. You'll also discover the traces left by the desert's discreet inhabitants, such as lizards, insects and fennecs, who tell mysterious stories in the sand, like hieroglyphs to be deciphered.

Highlights of your experience include sunrise and sunset, which offer a breathtaking spectacle as the horizon changes from brilliant orange to dark purple. At night, you'll have the chance to admire a sparkling starry sky, brighter than ever.

This trip offers pre-planned or personalised itineraries to suit different traveller profiles, whether you're a family, a hiking enthusiast or an experienced walker. The ideal season for this experience is from October to May. You will be accompanied by a professional guide and provided with all the necessary logistics, including camels, a cook and tents. The trip lasts 8 days, and you can be picked up from Marrakech with a slight change to the itinerary. The price for a group of 4 or more is €560 per person.

Period : From September to the end of May

Duration: 6 days, including 4 days' walking

Total duration: 22 hours' walking / 5 to 5? hours' walking per day.

Level: Medium.

Discover the Saghro Morocco Trek: a magnificent multi-day trek in southern Morocco, exploring the pre-Saharan Saghro massif. This massif has a special charm thanks to its exceptional geology, offering a wide variety of landscapes: immense, jagged plateaux, imposing cliffs, deep gorges, steep peaks, towers and tabular escarpments, where camel caravans cross. You'll also discover gorges adorned with boxwood bushes and conglomerate monoliths.

In this world bathed in warm light, the south wind announces the proximity of the Sahara. From September to May, we invite you to discover a magnificent region in the south of Morocco, the Saghro massif. Located in the Valley of the Roses, it is the last mountain before the Draa valley and oasis, as well as vast desert areas.

Trekking in Saghro, Morocco, will take you to discover Djebel Saghro, a volcanic massif rising to an altitude of 2,712 metres. You'll be amazed by its spectacular lunar landscapes, plateaux, peaks and canyons. You'll also have the chance to meet the Aït Atta tribe, famous for their transhumance, Bedouin tents and herds of goats.

6-day Saghro Morocco trekking programme:
Day 1: Marrakech - Tichka - Ouarzazat - Tagdilt
Morning departure for Ouarzazate via the Tizi N'Tichka pass. After discovering the Dades Valley and its thousand kasbahs, we continue south across a desert plateau to the village of Tagdilt. Overnight with local people at an altitude of 1650 metres. Journey time: 6 hours.

Day 2: Tagdilt - Col N'Iferd - Irefd - Plateau N'Ouarg (2250 m)
At the start of the hike, we watch the mules being loaded. We cross a huge plateau before gaining altitude to the Tizi N'Iferd pass (2400 m), offering a magnificent view of the central High Atlas massif. We then descend to the Iferd plateau and set up camp on this plateau, often used by the semi-nomadic transhumants of the Ait Atta. Overnight in tents at 2250 metres altitude. Walking time: 5 hours 30 minutes.

Day 3: Almou N'Ouarg - Kouaouck summit (2600 m) - Igli (1700 m)
We begin a fine ascent to the Kouaouck summit (2600 m), a climb that requires no particular technical skills. Our cook brings us a picnic lunch. We then descend via Tassegdilt and spend the night in tents in Igli, at an altitude of 1700 metres. Walking time: 5 hours 30 minutes.

Walking time: 5 hours.

Day 5: Oasis of Ighazoune - Tifdassine - Handour

Hiking Safran region, Djebel Siroua (3305m)

The Djebel Siroua (3305 m), an ancient volcanic massif, lies around a hundred kilometres from Marrakech, in the Sous valley. It links the High Atlas to the pre-Saharan Anti-Atlas range. Its chaotic landscapes stand in stark contrast to the neighbouring High Atlas: peaks of black, tortured rock contrast with vast expanses of grassland that blossom in spring, offering rich pastures. The Aît Ouaouzguite Berber villages at the foot of the massif share these mountain pastures to feed their herds. The stream-irrigated fields are home to barley, wheat, saffron and almond trees. When the snow eases off, we'll show you this wild and splendid region.
