Trekking and Mountaineering in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco with Nomadic Morocco


previous image	<< widen your views of the High Atlas mountains >>	next image

We have a number of scheduled winter 2012 trips running - see a summary of these below. All of these trips will be personally guided by Des Clark.

In our view these peaks offer some of the best winter mountaineering experiences in the whole of the High Atlas. All of them are committing, energetic trips to remote mountain regions in winter conditions so we anticipate those that come on these trips will not be new to such conditions. Rather we would like to see these trips as a way of developing skills and opening up areas for possible self-guided trips in the future.

Just email us at to enquire about or get more information on any of these trips.

Messaging and emails are all very well but it's often far easier and more useful to just sit down with a drink and talk face to face!

We can give general slideshows about lots of possibilities that exist right across the High Atlas or we can narrow it down to the area where you're interested in going to. Whilst we don't know every nook and cranny we do know a fair few areas so we're pretty sure we can help you.

We charge £50 for a slideshow or a pre-trip planning meeting lasting around 2 hours. More than that, people tend to get fidgety or mobiles start ringing.
