Trekking In Morocco

Trekking in Atlas Mountains

 Trekking is one of the very best things Morocco has to offer In the High Atlas, the country boasts one of the most rewarding mountain ranges in the world. If you are used to the Pyrenees or Alps, here you will feel you are moving a country or so back in time.

 Imlil is the starting point for the   ascent of Mount Toubkal, the highest mountain in North Africa. There are many guided treks up to the mountain and a refuge near the summit for an overnight stay. You should seek guidance locally as to weather conditions.

Visitors can use the new Hammam by joining the Imlil Village Association and paying a small entrance fee.

If you are planning a trek into the mountains, as well as the traditional stays in village houses, there is a new "Toubkal Lodge" opening in the village of Id Issa in the Azzaden valley in March 2006. This is the first of other lodges which will provide further accommodation around the area and is being built with the help of the village associations. Relax at the cafe until night falls. Mind the mosquitoes though from the river. At 9:30PM you will hear the sound of the call to prayer. The Mosques sound even more ancient and timeless in the mountains, the sound echoing through the hills, the distant villages far down the valley seeming to reply.
