The most elevated mountain range of the North Africa is a spiritual home to trekkers across the globe. The High Atlas stretches diagonally over Morocco from Atlantic drift to the North of Algeria. Within a decent range of 1000 km it surprisingly encompasses several summits higher than 4000 m and 400 odd summits higher than 3000 m. This variety makes High Atlas most desirable for trekking and making it a standout among other trekking destinations of the world.

Placed at a convenient distance from the west of Toubkal, Western High Atlas provides altogether different landscape and trekking conditions. The lower ranges in the west, drifting down to the Souss plains, are unexpectedly yet soothingly warmer and greener. They provide unmatched trekking experience amid the jagged mountains, deep gorges canvassed with valleys of date, walnut, almond and olive. It will be huge oversight not to mention of beautiful Berber villages.

At the very first sight of it, you will wander why the Rif Mountains are so less travelled? The only and the lowest mountain range that sweep southwards through Morocco. It is showered with choicest blessing of almighty, wonderful ranges, giant gorges and deep valleys, cladding of cedar, oak and fir. Its proximity to the Mediterranean makes it the greenest of all mountain ranges of the country, and spring time with its mob of wildflowers is undeniably a heavenly retreat.

The last noteworthy mountains before the Sahara are the barren, pink-and-ochre-shaded chain of the Anti Atlas, and underneath the arid, rugged mass of its two important peaks lie rich irrigated valleys and a series of oases. Morocco has such an abundance of trekking choices that maybe it is not astounding that a region with the potential of Tafraoute which has not yet been completely exploited.
The Anti Atlas around Tafraoute has tough, infertile rocks and rich green valleys in plenty. Jebel Lekst is the major attraction. The 'amethyst mountain' is a gigantic ridge that extends to the northwest of Tafraoute.
