Why this trip
Behind the city the High Atlas rises, and that is the reason Marrakech is more for active travellers than a place for souks. After two days among mountains of spices, the Ben Youssef Madrasa and the Koutoubia, the altitude beckons: in a good hour's drive you reach villages from which paths lead into valleys and over passes. The Toubkal, the highest summit in North Africa, is the big goal and demands stages with ascent and equipment for cold. If you want less, hike to Berber villages and experience terraced fields, walnut groves and mule tracks.
The Jardin Majorelle in the city gives the programme a calm opening before the mountains begin. The best time is between October and April, though in the mountains with snow at higher levels. The flight takes approx. 3.5 hrs, and Morocco is visa-free for Swiss citizens for up to 90 days.
Casablanca, Fez and Chefchaouen lie within reach as neighbours. How high you want to go is something you discuss beforehand in the video call with Adventure.
