Planning Your Atlas Mountains Tour

  • Best Time to Visit: Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) offer the best weather for trekking. Summer is also popular for escaping the heat, while winter offers snow-capped peaks for a different kind of beauty (special equipment may be required).
  • What to Pack: Sturdy, comfortable walking shoes are a must. We also recommend packing in layers, as temperatures can change quickly. Sunscreen, a hat, and a reusable water bottle are essential.
  • Fitness: We offer treks and tours suitable for a wide range of fitness levels. Please let us know your experience and comfort level, and we can recommend the perfect trip for you.
