When to come, what to bring, and what awaits you in the mountains.

Seasons

When to hike each trail?

Spring and autumn are the best times for most trails. Summer suits valleys and waterfalls, and winter brings snow to the high peaks.

Frequently asked questions

Before you book

Do I need previous hiking experience?

Not for easy trails such as Akchour and Chrafate. Hard trails such as Jbel Lakraa and Jbel El Kelaa need good fitness and the ability to walk for 6 to 7 hours.

What happens if the weather is bad?

We check the forecast before the hike. If the weather is dangerous, we suggest another trail or a new date.

Can you organise a multi-day trip?

Yes. Several trails can be linked into one trip, with nights in a mountain gîte or with village families.

Are the hikes suitable for children?

Easy trails suit families. We adapt the pace and distance to the children's ages.

How do I find out the price?

The price depends on the trail, group size and the services you need. Send your request from the booking page and Imad will reply with the details.
