Djebel Saghro Trekking

When trekking in the Atlas Mountains, it’s essential to prepare as you would for any mountainous environment. While daytime can be warm and sunny, the weather can shift unexpectedly, bringing snow and cold winds, especially between autumn and late spring. Remember to follow Leave No Trace principles by carrying out everything you bring in to preserve the natural beauty of the area.

Atlas treks are designed to suit the season and your fitness level. You can either stay at Berber guesthouses, taking day hikes from there, or embark on multi-day mule treks. During these treks, you’ll have the option of staying with local families, in guesthouses, or camping in two-person tents. In addition to your usual gear, be sure to follow this essential packing checklist for Atlas trekking.
