Atlas Mountains Zipline Adventure — Ziplines, Berber Villages & Argan Farm near Marrakech
Fly across pine valleys, cross suspension bridges and walk through authentic Berber villages in a single day trip from Marrakech. This 6–7 hour zipline and hike combines four zips (185–316 m), an argan cooperative visit and a traditional Moroccan lunch.
The Experience
Before You Go
Secure small gear
Use a camera strap or small dry bag—loose items can fall from zipline platforms and are hard to retrieve in the valley.
Hydrate and refill
Carry a 1–1.5 L reusable bottle—the tour provides bottled water but refill options in the reserve are limited.
Sturdy footwear only
Wear closed-toe hiking shoes with good grip for the village walk and uneven approach trails to the platforms.
Mind the weight/height limits
Guests must be at least 1.45 m and under ~110 kg; check with the operator in advance if you are near these limits.
