Seven days in the snow capped mountains of the High Atlas
Embark on one of the most rewarding Morocco adventures with this seven-day trek through the stunning Sirwa Massif, where ancient volcanic peaks and remote Berber villages create an unforgettable landscape. Starting with an early pickup from Marrakech, you’ll travel to Maliouine, the gateway to the mountains, where your trek begins.
We start with a gentle walk to Akhfamane, a peaceful village where you’ll spend the night in a traditional Berber guesthouse. Over the next few days, you’ll hike through dramatic river valleys, terraced farmland, and remote mountain villages that seem straight from pre-history. From Mazwad to Ti n Iddr, the scenery becomes increasingly rugged, with wide open trails and sweeping views across the southern Moroccan countryside.
As you continue on to Guilez, the trek becomes more challenging. You’ll gain significant altitude, camping beneath the towering peaks near Jebel Guiliz. The highlight of this Morocco adventure comes on day four when you ascend Mount Sirwa, the highest peak in the range at 3,305 metres. This demanding climb rewards you with panoramic views stretching as far as the Sahara Desert.
After summiting, you’ll descend through picturesque valleys and spend the final nights camping or staying in Berber guesthouses in the villages of Tizgui, Tizlit, and Tinfat. The route winds past farmlands and traditional homes, offering an authentic glimpse into rural Berber life.
The trek finishes with a scenic drive back to Marrakech through the saffron-producing town of Taliouine, giving you some time with Morocco’s natural beauty and cultural richness.
This journey is ideal for adventurous travellers seeking a deeper, off-the-beaten-track experience in Morocco. Combining mountain trekking, cultural encounters, and breathtaking scenery, it’s one of the most immersive Morocco adventures available – perfect for hikers and explorers who want more than just sightseeing.
