High Atlas Self Guided Trek
Follow trails through traditional villages to alpine pastures set beneath the impressive backdrop of the High Atlas. Descend into lush green valleys with terraces and mud walled houses and cross high passes to absorb the impressive mountain landscape. In the company of your muleteer and cook, experience the traditional Berber hospitality staying in local village houses and gites. There is ample time to relax amongst the walnut trees, sipping mint tea and taking in the pace of life in the mountains.
