Are you an adventure lover with a passion for trekking? If so, Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains should be at the top of your list! Offering an array of trekking opportunities for all levels of experience, from beginners to seasoned mountaineers, Morocco’s mountains are full of breathtaking landscapes, diverse cultures, and rewarding challenges. Whether you’re scaling the heights of Toubkal, exploring the wild terrain of Mgoun, or trekking through the stunning Saghro range, the possibilities are endless.

At High Atlas Mountains, we provide guided treks across these beautiful regions, ensuring that you get the best trekking experience in Morocco, with everything you need to make your adventure seamless, safe, and unforgettable.

Trekking in Toubkal: Conquer the Highest Peak in North Africa

Standing proudly at 4,167 meters (13,671 feet), Mount Toubkal is the highest peak in Morocco and North Africa, making it a must-do for avid trekkers. The Toubkal trek offers a challenging yet achievable ascent with remarkable views of the surrounding High Atlas peaks and valleys.

The trek begins from Imlil, a small Berber village nestled in the foothills of the High Atlas, and typically takes two to three days to reach the summit. The route takes you through scenic paths, past waterfalls, Berber villages, and alpine meadows. Winter adds an extra layer of excitement, as snow covers the landscape, making the summit even more challenging and rewarding.

Trekking in Mgoun: Discover Morocco’s Hidden Beauty

For trekkers looking for something a little different, Mgoun is an extraordinary alternative. The Mgoun massif is the second-highest range in Morocco, with its highest peak, Mgoun Summit, standing at 4,068 meters (13,345 feet). Mgoun is often less crowded than Toubkal, offering trekkers a more isolated and peaceful experience.

The trek to Mgoun takes you through the lush Ouarzazate valley, with vibrant green fields and traditional Berber villages. The region is rich in history, culture, and natural beauty, with dramatic landscapes that include deep canyons, arid plateaus, and flowing rivers. The trek takes around 5 to 6 days, and the summit rewards trekkers with panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and valleys. Whether you’re a passionate nature lover or a history enthusiast, Mgoun is a trek that you won’t forget.

Saghro: A Desert Adventure

The Saghro mountain range is the hidden gem of Morocco’s trekking destinations. Located between the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert, Saghro offers a unique combination of desert and mountain landscapes. The trek to Saghro is unlike any other, with its dramatic scenery, rocky outcrops, and vast stretches of desert terrain.

The Saghro range is an ideal trek for those looking to combine a mountain adventure with the experience of trekking through the desert. The terrain is rugged, and the landscapes are mesmerizing with the typical desert palette of reds, oranges, and browns. With an average trek time of 4 to 5 days, Saghro is perfect for those seeking a challenge off the beaten path.
