1. High Atlas Crossing

Morocco 1/2026 (5/6 days)

​

​

Day 1:

We meet in the royal city of Fez, where we have our vehicles checked again and stock up on provisions for at least a week. From here we first drive along the High Atlas towards the south-west in order to “position” ourselves at its foothills by the evening. We spend the evening at one of the numerous reservoirs and enjoy the distant views up to the three and four thousand metre peaks of the High Atlas.

​​

Day 2:

Day two takes us on a relatively well-surfaced road through small Moroccan mountain villages closer and closer to the snow-covered peaks. Depending on the weather and snow conditions, we choose/confirm an appropriate passage over the passes today. The options range from adventurous to the label ‘most dangerous roads in the world’. We decide on the most appropriate route depending on the thirst for adventure, external conditions and team strength. The experience of nature on such remote trails is all the more impressive because we are travelling through unspeakably wild, almost untouched nature from this day onwards and therefore we also take enough time to capture this unique experience in pictures. (i.e. photo stops!)

​

Day 3:

Today we are on the climax stage of our crossing of the High Atlas. We climb passes to just over 3,000 metres above sea level in our off-road vehicles, cross small rivers where we can fill up with fresh mountain spring water if required and available, and once again enjoy the unspoilt nature of our colourful surroundings.

​

Day 4:

The fourth day is also a real challenge. Narrow gorges alternate with tracks with fantastic views as far as the Anti-Atlas. Again and again we come across the occasional shepherd with his flock of sheep. Eventually we reach Moroccan civilisation yet again. For our overnight stay, we make our way once more to a moonlike landscape between the High and Anti-Atlas mountains, where, with a bit of luck, we spend the night under an impressive canopy of stars.

​

Day 5:

On the fifth and final day of our shared mountain adventure, we finally reach paved roads again and head eastwards along the foot of the conquered High Atlas. In the small town of Tinghir there is (finally) the opportunity to buy fresh produce again, for those who already miss it. The end of our adventure, however, lies on the edge of the Anti Atlas, where we marvel yet again at unspeakable mountain panoramas in all directions.

​

Day 6 (optional):

Today we get a taste of the sandy tracks and desert training in Erg Chebbi, which we will reach shortly. For now, however, we drive to two optional highlights of the Morocco tour. The Senses Atlas are incredible works of landscape art by the German artist Hansjörg Voth. After a short drive along a sandy track, we are whisked away by the ‘Ladder to Heaven’, the ‘City of Orion’ and the ‘Golden Spiral’ into an extraterrestrial experience and marvel endlessly at the ingenuity and architectural possibilities out here in the Moroccan desert.

 

The second scenery is no less impressive and created entirely by the hand of God. We climb the extinct volcano Gara Medouar in our vehicles - or on foot if necessary - and soon find ourselves in the middle of the backdrop to such well-known cinema spectacles as ‘The Mummy’ or the James Bond film ‘The Spectre’.
