Hiking through the Atlas Mountains is a must-do. We have the perfect 6-day hike that takes you to the summit of the highest peak in the range, Jebel Toubkal. The nature that’ll you’ll encounter in the Atlas Mountains in unforgettable. From unobstructed starscapes to waterfalls hidden in the mountains, there is so much beauty to admire.

We’ll meet up in Marrakesh to start our adventure. Heading straight to the mountains, we’ll visit Berber villages along the way. Our nights will be spent in guesthouses and chalets that are nestled in the mountains. Waking up in the mountains is particularly special as we’re able to see the sun come up over the villages and landscape.

The pinnacle of our mountain experience comes as we reach the summit of Toubkal. At 4167 metres getting there is no easy feat. The views from the top will be all worth it though.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
