High Atlas Zipline and Berber Breakfast from Marrakech: Thrill and Culture in One Day
Launch off cliffs in the High Atlas, glide over dramatic valleys, then refuel on a traditional Amazigh breakfast at a local argan cooperative. This half-day from Marrakech mixes culture, geology, and four ziplines for an accessible mountain thrill.
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.

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