Begin your trek through fragrant juniper forests, terraced farmland, and picturesque Berber villages while enjoying spectacular views of the High Atlas Mountains. In the afternoon, arrive at the peaceful village of Ait Aissa (1,800 m), where you'll spend the night in a traditional Berber guesthouse.
