Atlas Treks

For Atlas Trekking you need to prepare as you would for walking in any mountain region. It can be warm and sunny during the day but the weather in the mountains can quickly change from sunshine to snow and cold winds (autumn through late spring).

Atlas Treks are tailored to match the season and your level of fitness. You have the choice of basing yourself in Berber Guesthouses, from where you can take daily walks, or you can trek with mules to carry the kit. On mule treks you usually have the choice of staying in Berber Guesthouse/with families or wild camping in 2-person tents.

Atlas trekking tours from Marrakech can include the ascent of Mount Toubkal although, in the winter months, you should be an experienced climber used to using crampons.

Please DO NOT leave any rubbish behind you and carry out what you carry in.
