Full description

Choose your pickup in Marrakech, and embark on an unforgettable trip across the villages and natural landscape of Ourika. Experience life in Berber communities as they welcome you to their home. Kick back and enjoy the views of Setti Fatma and the far-reaching Atlas Mountains.

Your driver will guide you up the mountainous terrain, stopping at some stunning sites. Drop in for tea in a traditional Berber family home. Visit a woman-owned Argan oil cooperative to see the extraction and processing of the local “liquid gold”.

Carry on towards Setti Fatma, a favorite destination for many Moroccans. Admire its lush green valleys, beautiful streams and waterfalls, cliffs, and open spaces. You'll hike all the way up to the first waterfall, accompanied by a local guide.

Grab lunch in a local café, sat by a stream with a stunning view over the mountains. Explore a region that uses medieval agricultural traditions. Enjoy a peaceful walk around the Atlas mountains, bursting with native wildlife.

Schöne Tour ins Ourika-Tal und die Berge. Der Fahrer und der Guide waren sehr freundlich und haben sich gut ausgekannt. Auf der Tour muss man aber, wie bei den meisten, den Stopp für Arganöl- und Teppichverkauf "über sich ergehen lassen". Das hat mich persönlich schon gestört und ich würde lieber mehr Geld bezahlen, um dafür direkt zum Ziel zu fahren.

Ce fut une excellente expérience. Le guide Lahcen était très gentil et nous a appris beaucoup de choses. Nous avons également été à Ourika, visiter une maison berbère et une coopérative d’huile d’argan. Et nous avons marché pour atteindre une cascade avec un guide local, d’une grande gentillesse également. Je vous conseille vivement cette activité pour connaître la culture berbère et apprendre beaucoup de choses. La journée était riche en apprentissage et en découverte. Elle permet de déconnecter de la folie de Marrakech et se retrouver dans le calme. C’était parfait, merci encore ! Elsa et Marie

Une journée forte agréable à la découverte du Haut-Atlas. Des vues et des paysages somptueux! Notre guide Lahcen a été fort sympathique et nous à fait profiter de ses connaissances de la région ainsi que de sa culture personnelle. Une belle rencontre! Notez qu'il s'agit là d'une randonnée en montagne, que nombre de passages sont difficiles et parfois même périlleux. Ainsi je conseille fortement cette excursion, sauf si vous avez du mal à vous déplacer ou que vous êtes accompagner de jeunes enfants
