For your holidays, marvel at the beauty of the landscapes through the hikes that this
magnificent part of Morocco offers us. In the heart of the central High Atlas, overlooked by
the northern slope of the M’Goun range, the second highest peak in Morocco, is the beautiful
valley of Aït Bougmez.
Made fertile by the wadis and well exposed, the land is rich and welcoming to man, or rather the Berbers who have been its guardians for centuries. Live the adventure with these sensational hikes with a thousand facets You will discover some thirty villages of earth or stone between 1800 and 2100 m which are scattered along the 25 kilometers of this valley; the vast cultivation terraces go up the mountainside, bordered by groves of large walnut trees in thick shade, and make up a colorful mosaic.
From the top of a hill, from the crest of a djebel, the gaze embraces cultivated slopes, dry stone walls,
villages with flat roofs overlapping one another, the nuances of rich vegetation. And when the rocky base emerges, it is to reveal, preserved in the clay that has become hard rock, the immortal imprint of a dinosaur … Our trekking trip within this indomitable Morocco leads to contemplation, a magical expression of beauty .
Departing from a comfortable house-inn, built and decorated according to local tradition, we walk through the happy valley of Aït Bougmez. In small steps, our mule trek progresses peacefully to meet this Berber culture which developed in the shade of the high peaks
