Ait Bouguemez
The happy valley: granaries, rammed-earth villages and gentle walks in the heart of the High Atlas.
Nicknamed the happy valley, Ait Bouguemez is an unspoilt farming pocket of the central High Atlas, far from the tourist roads. Terraced fields, rammed-earth villages and communal granaries make up a landscape out of time.
It is a paradise for gentle walking and for trekking up to the M'Goun plateau, with the hospitality of Berber guesthouses.

Frequently asked questions
Which traveller do we schedule Ait Bouguemez for?
For anyone who likes walking, authenticity and quiet. The drive from Marrakech is long, about five hours: we arrange it with a driver, as a stage in its own right.
Which season do we choose?
From spring to autumn. We favour May and June, when the terraced fields are green.
