The High Atlas, the greatest mountain range of North Africa, is perhaps the most beautiful and intriguing part in Morocco for adventure seekers. It has retained a remoteness which until recent decades was virtually complete, and contains villages where the way of life has changed very little for centuries.
The Marrakech-based event agency and incentive house Unitours Maroc has designed a new programme for those looking for an adventurous incentive trip activity or trip.
Regardless of fitness levels, this area is accessible to all. There is a wide range of hiking options, from short rambles through the villages located in the Imlil, Ouirgane and Ourika valleys, to more demanding full-day trekking. Mule support can be arranged for bags and people, which opens up further opportunities. The mule trails around the valleys are well contoured and kept in excellent condition.
Outsiders to the mountains are constantly surprised when they encounter the friendliness and openness of the villagers, as they go about their everyday tasks. Hiking in the High Atlas is one of the best possible experiences in Morocco – feasible exploration of stunning natural beauty, and of a rigidly individual world.
