The Atlas Mountains, Morocco
The snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop to Marrakech. However, a whole new experience awaits those who venture closer.The home of the Berbers, the original inhabitants of North Africa, a stay here provides the perfect contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city.
Only an hour from Marrakech, footpaths and mule tracks meander their way through lush, irrigated terraces, apple orchards and walnut groves to villages where the way of life has changed little for centuries and traditional values and hospitality are unaffected by the outside world. Enjoy lovely short walks or longer, more challenging treks over several days- all levels and abilities can be accommodated. For more structured activities, the tree-top adventures of the Terres d’Amanar Acro Park are a great option en-route from Marrakech.
