Villages Hikes
The
High Atlas, the greatest mountain range of North Africa, is perhaps
the most beautiful and intriguing part of Morocco. It has retained
a remoteness which until recent decades was virtually complete,
and contains villages where the way of life has changed little
for centuries.
Outsiders to the mountains are constantly surprised when they
encounter the friendliness and openness of the villagers, as they
go about their everyday tasks. Hiking in the High Atlas is one
of the best possible experiences in Morocco – feasible exploration
of stunning natural beauty, and of a rigidly individual world.
Regardless of levels of fitness this area is accessible to all.
There is a wide range of trekking possibilities, from a short
ramble through the villages that surround the Mt Toubkal Auberge,
to more demanding multi-day treks. Mule support can be arranged
for bags and people, which opens up more opportunities. The mule
trails around the valleys are well contoured and kept in excellent
condition.
In what follows are a few examples of possible treks. Mohamed
is a qualified and long experienced FRMSM Mountain Guide. He and
the Mt Toubkal Auberge staff are happy to discuss possibilities
with you and arrange full accompanied trekking support.
