Description Overview Accommodation Programme Included/Excluded Gear FAQ

DESCRIPTION

🌄 AN IMMERSION IN THE HEART OF THE CENTRAL HIGH ATLAS


The Randomania Ecotourism Club invites you on an extraordinary adventure in the heart of one of Morocco's most unspoilt areas.


Set off to discover Zaouiat Ahansal and Taghia, two secret jewels of the central High Atlas where wild mountains, green valleys, Berber villages and dizzying cliffs create a spectacular setting.


🥾 Through several day hikes from a base, we will explore little-known trails and grandiose landscapes, between deep valleys and huge rock walls up to 800 metres high.


🏔️ Taghia, accessible only on foot, gradually reveals its exceptional character. Isolated in the middle of the mountains, it offers a rare, almost timeless atmosphere, where silence, stone and the raw beauty of nature take on their full meaning.


🌿 Zaouiat Ahansal, for its part, opens the doors to an authentic Morocco, shaped by history, Amazigh traditions and warm hospitality. Founded in the 13th century by Sidi Said Ahansal, this peaceful rural commune is an ideal starting point to discover the natural and cultural riches of the region.


📍 FACT SHEET


Located in the Azilal province, Zaouiat Ahansal and Taghia are among the most remarkable areas of the Moroccan High Atlas.


🔹 Zaouiat Ahansal : an authentic village nestled in an exceptional mountain setting, known for its heritage, its Amazigh culture and its unspoilt landscapes.


🔹 Taghia : a spectacular mountain village, accessible on foot, surrounded by gigantic cliffs up to 800 metres, offering a unique playground for lovers of hiking and wide open spaces.


✨ Two destinations, one promise: get away from daily life, get back to basics and fully experience the mountains.


🌿 Wild nature • Adventure • Amazigh culture • Great landscapes • Escape
