About this trip
Family trek in Morocco - Fantastic family trekking in Morocco. During your family trek in the Atlas Mountains, we can offer you an extra mule for your child to ride on if they become tired. This is also available just for fun! We are able to adapt any of our itineraries to suit your family's requirements. For under 12 years, we recommend our Imlil Valley, Berber valleys, and Berber Markets trekking. As we do not recommend the summit of Toubkal for under 12 years because of the steep terrain and the altitude, we have put together an interesting and Berber cultural trek in the High Atlas Villages. You will be walking for 4 to 5 hours but each day differs in the amount of ascent. We have tried and tested with groups of schools' students and it has proved to be very manageable for all involved!

After lunch, you will set off following the path to the traditional Berber village before we arrive at one called Tachedirt, where we will spend the night.

After helping to load our mules and a good breakfast, we start our trek by following the Azzaden Valley up to the south as it narrows and approaches the mountains that feed its river. High above to the west is the Tazaghart Plateau (3900m), a mountain with a flat top around 1.5km across. We will see the cliffs rising up to its lip to the right of the valley head. We will continue to where the valley narrows to a cliffed gorge and a large waterfall crashes down into the bottom.
