The Experience

Before You Go

Wear grippy, closed-toe shoes

Platforms and ladders require secure footing—trail runners or hiking shoes are ideal.

Bring a light wind jacket

Mountain air can be cold and gusty even in summer; a packable shell keeps you comfortable between runs.

Charge your camera and secure it

Use a wrist strap or chest-mounted camera; loose gear is not allowed on ziplines.

Respect cooperative etiquette

Ask before photographing workers at the argan cooperative and support the cooperative with small purchases.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Women’s argan cooperative visit—learn traditional pressing and sample fresh argan oil
  • A quiet village viewpoint above the zipline platforms for panoramic High Atlas vistas

Wildlife

  • Barbary macaque
  • Golden eagle and other raptors

Conservation Note

Support local cooperatives and follow leave-no-trace principles; the region’s thin soils and argan groves are sensitive to overuse and require respectful tourism.

The High Atlas is home to Amazigh (Berber) communities whose terrace farming and stone architecture reflect centuries of mountain adaptation.
