Trekking in Morocco

Are you looking for a vacation that provides attractions like no other place? Perhaps you enjoy trekking experiences that take several days to complete? No matter what you are looking for in a vacation, Morocco is sure to have it for you. Morocco contains some of the world’s most beautiful mountains, which are just perfect for trekking amidst picturesque surroundings.

The High Atlas Mountains
The High Atlas Mountains are the one of the most popular destinations for trekkers. The High Atlas runs diagonally across Morocco, starting from the Atlantic coast northeast of Agadir to the northern Algeria. The treks you can undertake here vary from short walks through cedar forests to challenging treks up steep and rocky slopes.

Western High Atlas Mountains
Western High Atlas offers you a different landscape and some very different conditions for trekking. The lower ranges to the west are usually greener and warmer but still provide you great trekking platform in a magical area of rough mountains, fertile valleys of date, olive and walnut trees, and unique Berber villages. The landscape may make for gentler trekking, but it still offers you some challenges.


The Todra Gorge
Unlike the High Atlas Mountains, which is a vibrant green region with high peaks over 3,000 meters, the Todra Gorge is in a barren country near the Anti Atlas region. Trekking in the Todra Gorge allows you to walk through the 600 meter gorge moving from one village to the next. While trekking the gorge you will come across a small hotel and a few restaurants where you can easily stop and take some rest if you do not wish to trek the whole day. 

Zaer Forest
Trekking at Zaer Forest is basically meant for those who appreciate one day trips into the forest during the day, with short car rides and an enjoyable trek to a great lunch location. Trekking at Zaer Forest also includes circular style treks where you start off at one point, and return there after going through the forest. Fascinating villages, green valleys, and cork oaks are usually the sights that you will come across on a trek through Zaer Forest.


In nutshell, Morocco offers you some of the finest locations for trekking that no other place can provide. All regions of Morocco can be trekked if you crave for some adventure amid the most picturesque views ever.
