Tassaout Valley Trekking

From €680 / Adult

Tassaout Valley Trekking offers an unforgettable adventure through the heart of the High Atlas Mountains, often referred to as the “roof of Morocco” or even the “roof of North Africa.” Stretching over 750 km, this majestic mountain range forms a natural barrier between northern and southern Morocco, and is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts.

The High Atlas is not only vital for traditional grazing and agriculture, but it also provides a vast and open space for trekking, climbing, and other adventure activities. This region remains one of the best destinations in Morocco for those seeking authentic mountain experiences.

Just a few hours from Marrakech, the central High Atlas reveals wild and untouched beauty—gorges, high plateaus, terraced fields, panoramic landscapes, and traditional Berber villages.
