Tafraoute, the Valley of Argan and Almond Trees – Trekking in Tafraoute and the Ameln Valley
This unforgettable trek takes place during the best season to witness the almond trees in full bloom, typically from mid-February to mid-March, when the landscape is transformed into a sea of soft pink blossoms set against the striking backdrop of pink granite mountains.
Following the scenic trails of the Anti-Atlas, Jebel Bani, and Tafraoute, you’ll explore suspended Berber villages nestled above almond orchards and hidden valleys. One of the highlights of this trek is the impressive Jebel Lekst, which rises to an altitude of 2,359 meters, offering spectacular panoramic views.
The route also leads through the dramatic Aït Moussa Valley, carved with steep gorges and framed by the unique pink granite formations that define the region. This trek is ideal for nature lovers, photographers, and hikers seeking both cultural immersion and natural beauty in Morocco’s less-traveled southern mountains.
