The High Atlas is not a single mountain but an infinity of valleys, each with its own character, light, and Berber culture. This day trip lets you experience three in a single spectacular loop.

About this excursion

This immersive day trip combines three of the most beautiful valleys of the Atlas in a single loop: the lush Ourika Valley, the high plateau of Oukaimeden (ski resort in winter), and the dramatic landscape of the Tizi n'Tichka pass. You will visit Berber villages, meet artisan potters, and photograph landscapes of extraordinary diversity.

The Atlas in All Seasons

The Atlas Mountains offer a radically different experience depending on the season. In summer, the valleys are green and lush, ideal for hiking and swimming. In autumn, the almond and walnut trees turn golden. In winter, Oukaimeden is Morocco's main ski resort, and the views of snow-covered peaks from Marrakech are magical.

Highlights

Ourika Valley and waterfalls
Oukaimeden plateau (2600m)
Tizi n'Tichka mountain pass
Berber pottery village of Ait Benhaddou
Three distinct Alpine ecosystems
