Destinations: Todra Gorge, Dades Valley · Duration: 4 days · Difficulty: Challenging · Group size: Up to 6
The sheer 300-metre walls of Todra Gorge are one of Africa’s great climbing arenas, and this four-day programme puts you on the rock with UIAGM-qualified guides. Whether you are tying in for the first time or ticking multi-pitch routes, the itinerary builds your skills and confidence on warm, grippy limestone.
Beyond the gorge you scramble ridgelines and taste genuine mountaineering, finishing with a summit-style day among the high plateaux. Nights are spent in a friendly gorge-side auberge, so you climb hard, eat well and sleep soundly between adventures.
This 4 days journey is led by licensed local guides who grew up in South Morocco, giving you privileged access to a canyon oasis prized by rock climbers, with Berber villages at its mouth alongside honest, unhurried travel. Every detail — comfortable private transport, hand-picked accommodation and authentic meals — is arranged so you can simply relax and take it in.
It is perfect for active travellers and keen hikers who want a genuine, well-run experience rather than a rushed coach tour. Small groups, transparent pricing and flexible planning mean the trip flexes around you.
Transfer to Todra; afternoon skills session on single-pitch routes covering movement, belaying and safety.
A full day climbing progressively harder routes, ending on your first multi-pitch line up the gorge wall.
An alpine-style day of ridge scrambling and route-finding on the high plateaux above the gorge.
Tackle a chosen project route in the morning before the transfer back.
