The Atlas Mountains, known as the “Mountains of Mountains” in Berber, are a stunning range that includes North Africa’s highest peak, Jebel Toubkal, along with six other peaks surpassing 4,000 meters. These snow-capped peaks are visible year-round, but their clarity is most striking in winter. Dividing Morocco roughly in half from north to south, the High Atlas spans over 700 kilometers, with the Jebel Toubkal massif at its heart, a national park since 1942. Just 90 minutes from Marrakech, Toubkal is the highest point, while nearby Jebel Mgoun, Morocco’s third-highest peak, offers diverse hiking experiences. The Central High Atlas, with accessible routes from areas like Ait Bougmez Valley and Mgoun Valley, invites adventurers to explore its stunning landscapes.
