Morocco's mountain ranges are incredible areas of wilderness and beauty. As well as offering superb and breathtaking scenery whilst driving from one part of Morocco to another, the Atlas and Rif Mountains have some wonderful hotels and 'retreats' to entice visitors away from the cities and coasts.

The Rif Mountains of the north hide Roman ruins of immense scale and majesty (Volubilis), a thermal spa (Moulay Yacoub) and a village of perfect tranquility (Chefchaouen). The Mid Atlas and High Atlas both offer excellent trekking and a limited ski season (Ifrane and Oukaimeden). The High Atlas in particular, dominated by Mount Toubkal (North Africa's highest peak, 4137m) and the Tichka Plateau has high quality and intimate hotels, particularly at Ouirgane but do not overlook one of our favourites - the Auberge de Cascades at Immouzer.

The Anti Atlas, the furthest south, is much less developed for tourism and although less dramatic in the size of its peaks it does offer unique scenery and an opportunity to explore a part of Morocco overlooked by so many.
