The Experience

Before You Go

Secure your camera

Bring a camera with a wrist or chest strap — loose gear can be lost on long ziplines.

Hydrate and snack

Carry 1–2 liters of water and a light snack; the course and travel add up to a long active day.

Footwear matters

Closed-toe, grippy shoes are required for platforms and the hanging bridges; sandals aren’t recommended.

Check weight and health requirements

Provide accurate weight at booking and disclose any back, heart, or pregnancy concerns; some conditions are restricted.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small viewpoint above the Berber village for unobstructed sunset colors
  • A quiet terrace in the women’s cooperative where you can taste amlou and mint tea away from the main group

Wildlife

  • Barbary macaques (in higher forested pockets)
  • Raptors such as eagles or vultures soaring over ridgelines

Conservation Note

Local cooperatives help protect argan forests and return income to communities; visitors should avoid disturbing wildlife and limit plastic waste to reduce impact.

The High Atlas long supported Amazigh (Berber) communities whose terrace agriculture and transhumant routes shaped settlement patterns; argan harvesting is a centuries-old practice integral to local livelihoods.
