What Adventurers Say
Anna L.
2023-09-15"The most physically demanding and rewarding thing I have ever done. Our guide, Hassan, was a true professional—his knowledge of the terrain and pacing was perfect. The feeling of standing on the last summit, Akioud, with the entire range behind us, was indescribable. This expedition is the gold standard for High Atlas mountaineering."
