The High Atlas 4,000-metre Peaks Route is one of the most demanding and spectacular traverses in North Africa: 9 summits above 4,000 metres in a single 7-day expedition. A unique challenge for mountaineers seeking an authentic Moroccan adventure. The route crosses endless valleys, sharp ridges, and pristine high-altitude landscapes far from civilisation.
