High Atlas Valleys trek: An amazing 5-day hike in Ait Boulli Valley and Ait Bouguemez Valley in the Central High Atlas Mountains. This trek will take you to discover two magnificent valleys, Ait Boulli and the Ait Bougmez Valleys, with nights spent in traditional lodges. The Central High Atlas valleys are renowned for the beauty of their villages and the warm welcome of the inhabitants.
We begin the trek from Aït Boulli Valley into a pastoral universe of sheepfolds and pasture plateaus. From Tafanfant, we have a superb view of the second valley, Aït Bougmez, also called “Happy Valley”, fertile, with earthen roof villages and welcoming and warm people. Two different valleys for an authentic route, built for hikers who want to exchange, share and experience the daily life of these proud and endearing mountaineers.
