3-day Ouirgane to Azzaden trek through Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains offers a perfect blend of culture, nature, and gentle adventure. This journey begins with a pick-up in Marrakesh and takes you deep into Toubkal National Park—without demanding high altitudes or technical climbs.

You’ll start in the peaceful village of Ouirgane, surrounded by terraced fields and olive groves. Over three days, you’ll hike through lush valleys like Imlil and Ouirgane, with snow-capped peaks framing every view. Trails stay below 2,000 meters, making this trek ideal year-round.

A local Berber guide will lead you each day. A mule carries your luggage so you can walk light. You’ll see the traditional Saguia irrigation system, learn how families grow their own food, and pass clay houses built into the hillsides.

Each night, you’ll stay with a Berber family. Enjoy a hot tajine for dinner. Wake up to fresh bread, olive oil, and sweet mint tea. These homestays give you real insight into mountain life in Morocco.

  • Day 1: Ouirgane → Tighfist (1,200 m) – lunch stop, rooftop views
  • Day 2: Tighfist → Assif Izagzaoun (1,900 m) – explore Ouirgane Valley
