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.
