Hiking & Trekking Tours & Trips in Morocco
Climbing North Africa's tallest mountain, Mount Toubkal, is a doable feat! Take a trek through the Atlas Mountains, visiting Berber villages - there's a bit of scrambling involved near the summit, but the payoff is worth it for vistas that reach all the way to the Sahara and the Atlantic. Evenings spent in traditional mountain gites offer a taste of authentic Moroccan cuisine, and sometimes, you can sleep on the terrace beneath a blanket of stars.

Originally I had planned to go on a completely different trip with another company which was cancelled at short notice for Covid reasons. Almost simultaneously I received an e-mail from you advertising a range of trips and the Toukbal mountain trip was a perfect fit - one call later and your very helpful team had put the wheels in motion to see whether I could attend and in a couple of days I was booked on with some very helpful guidelines on what was required. Having just finished this excellent break I would like to say a big thank you to all in Explore - your business has had a tough 2 years and I am absolutely delighted that I booked with you. I doubt that I will do this trip again because the positive memories are so strong that they could not be repeated - but I will absolutely recommend the trip and your company to anyone and everyone. And I will now start looking through your brochure to see what I can do in 2022.

Ismail impressed us from the first day we met him. Not only was he professional as a driver and guide but he was friendly and graciously welcoming and so kindhearted to us throughout the trip. We had the most memorable New Year’s Eve celebration singing and playing instrument beneath the stars and fireworks in the desert thanks to Ismail and his wonderful team! Book with him you will be so happy you did!!!
5-Day Marrakech City Break with Local Experiences - EL
Esperanza • traveled in September, 2025
What an adventure! From the lively streets of Marrakech to the peaceful mountain trails, and then into the Sahara desert, every day felt different. The trek in the Atlas was breathtaking, with welcoming Berber families offering tea. The desert camp was beyond our expectations, luxurious yet still authentic. We’ll never forget this journey.

What our customers ask about Hiking & Trekking Tours & Trips in Morocco
What are the best hiking trails in Morocco for different skill levels?
Morocco's trails range from simple walks to challenging mountain ascents. Beginners find their stride on the Atlas Berber Villages trek which takes 4-5 hours daily through villages like Tacheddirt and Imlil. The Rif Mountains near Chefchaouen suit intermediate hikers while Mount Toubkal (4167m) presents a more demanding route. The Ourika Valley offers straightforward day hikes that let you set your own pace. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The guides and local team were amazing - making sure everyone felt safe and supported no matter their hiking ability."
What is the best time of year for hiking in Morocco's Atlas Mountains?
Plan your Atlas Mountains trek between April and October for the most reliable conditions. The High Atlas trails around Toubkal are clearest from June to September with temperatures ranging from 20-25°C (68-77°F). The Rif Mountains bloom with wildflowers in spring while autumn brings pleasant hiking weather to Tazekka National Park. As confirmed by a TourRadar traveler: "We went in September and the weather was perfect - warm days for hiking but not too hot with clear views from the summit of Toubkal."
How physically demanding are Morocco's mountain treks?
The physical requirements vary by route. Mount Toubkal demands 10-12 hour days with a 960m climb to reach 4167m. For an easier experience the Atlas Berber Villages trek covers 4-5 hours daily with 400-500m elevation changes. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The trek to Toubkal was challenging but manageable - we took regular breaks and our guide perfectly paced the group according to everyone's abilities."
Where do you sleep during multi-day hikes in Morocco?
Nights on the trails mix traditional gîtes mountain lodges and camping spots. The Toubkal Refuge provides dorm-style sleeping at 3207m while villages like Tizi Oussem welcome hikers into Berber homes. Those seeking more comfort can book stays at places like Riad Atlas Prestige in Imlil. As one TourRadar reviewer noted: "The mountain accommodations were basic but comfortable and staying in traditional Berber houses gave us an authentic cultural experience."
Are family-friendly hiking options in Morocco?
The Mid Atlas region works well for families with children. The Ourika Valley has gentle paths between villages while the Imlil Valley offers 2-3 hour walks suitable for kids over 8. The Atlas Mountains lodge near Imlil creates a welcoming base for families. As one TourRadar family noted: "The guides were great with our kids adjusting the pace and making the trek fun with stories about local culture and wildlife."
What safety measures are in place for high-altitude treks in Morocco?
Local guides with mountain safety and first aid certifications lead all tours. High-altitude routes like Mount Toubkal include dedicated days for altitude adjustment. Guides carry satellite phones and follow established evacuation plans in remote areas. One TourRadar traveler shared: "Our guide Abdullah was extremely professional checking our oxygen levels daily at the Toubkal Refuge and adjusting the pace to ensure everyone acclimatized properly before the summit attempt."
