Description Dates Overview Accommodation Programme Included/Excluded Gear Gallery FAQ

DESCRIPTION

The club Randomania Morocco invites you on an extraordinary getaway in the heart of Taliouine, Morocco's saffron capital. 🌿✨


Among perched Berber villages, Anti-Atlas mountains, wild valleys and landscapes of surprising colours, this trekking hike will take you to discover an authentic Morocco, far from the classic trails.


Along the paths, we will discover life in the mountain villages, the ancestral traditions of the residents and the fascinating world of Saffron, this precious spice nicknamed “red gold” and considered one of the most expensive in the world. A unique immersion in a land where nature, culture and Berber traditions meet.


Fact sheet


Taliouine, a small Berber town nestled at about 1,500 metres above sea level, lies 119 km from Taroudant. Surrounded by the majestic peaks of the Anti-Atlas, it reveals a spectacular setting marked by remarkable geological formations.


But above all, Taliouine hides a true treasure: Saffron. 🌸


Every year, from mid-October to mid-November, the fields are covered in delicate purple flowers. At first light, the growers go out to pick the flowers that opened during the night. Then begins meticulous work: picking, separating the precious stigmas and drying, using know-how passed down from generation to generation.


The Tislit Gorges


Our adventure will also take us to the Tislit Gorges, a striking mineral setting lost in the middle of a vast desert plateau.


Here, the volcanic rocks with changing hues, sculpted by time, reveal astonishing shapes and almost unreal landscapes. A true adventure playground where every step reveals a new natural picture.


A getaway where you don't just come to walk, but to experience Taliouine, meet its land and discover the authentic soul of the Anti-Atlas.
