Atlas Mountains Zipline from Marrakech — Breakfast, Argan Cooperative & Pine-Forest Canopy
Leave Marrakech for a five-hour morning in the Atlas foothills: breakfast and argan-tasting, then four ziplines that send you over pine-scarred valleys. Expect clear safety briefings, hotel transfer, and panoramic views with minimal technical skill required.
The Experience
Before You Go
Secure loose items
Use a neck strap or secure pouch for phones and sunglasses—guides may require pockets zipped before launching.
Layer for the ridge
Temperatures on the ridgeline can be 5–10°C cooler than Marrakech—bring a light windproof layer.
Hydrate before you go
Carry a reusable water bottle for the transfer and short walks between platforms; bottled water is often available at stops.
Respect cooperative customs
When visiting an argan cooperative, ask before photographing people and buy a product if you can—it's direct support to local producers.
