7 Days Jbel Saghro Mountain Trekv Package

Package Overview

Lying Across the Centre of Morocco in a Diagonal Line for Approx 1,000kms, the High Atlas Mountains have Long Been a Mecca for Trekkers and with Many of the Highest Peaks Within Easy Reach of Marrakech, this Area Has Become Renowned for Spectacular Trails and High Adventure. Between the High Atlas and Its Southern Desert Regions of the Sahara Lie the Challenging Peaks, Volcanic Rocks and Remote Valleys of the Jbel Sarhro. this is An Area of Stark Black Jagged Rocky Pinnacles, Lunar-like Plateaux, Deep Gorges and Remote Villages with Breathtaking Views Across Arid Landscapes Tumbling Towards the Dades Gorge and Valley. the Best Time to Trek this Area is Between November and February as the Summer Months are Too Hot and Water is Scarce. the High Atlas May Be Covered in Snow in the Winter, But the Jbel Sarhro Range Will Remain Open to Spectacular Hiking and Clear Weather At this Time.
