Gorge walking in Marrakech – Don’t Dare Look Down!

Morocco Gorge walking

A fairly straightforward half hour drive to the outskirts of Marrakech will take you to the foot of a glorious mountainous region. After negotiating the slaloming slope up one of the mountains you’ll find yourself at a picturesque mountain ranch ready for some serious gorge walking and ziplining. The ranch is unbelievably peaceful, the silence only momentarily broken when a bird feels like a song. Total tranquility. What this quietness means however, is that no one can hear you scream as you come hurling down a mountain tied to a rope , or walk across a partial wooden bridge overlooking a fall to almost certain death.

It was my uncle’s idea to come here. (Although I’m convinced he regretted it when he took his first steps on that bridge and it began to sway from side to side). There were two gorge walks, a smaller and a larger one. Each was made up of planks of wood, evenly spaced so that it took more of a squat thrust than a simple step to reach the next plank. The gaps between the wood provided the view – and the reason for my uncle’s pounding heart – which looked down onto some spectacular mountain scenery. The mountains are of a distinctly red look and are like nothing I have ever seen. The first gorge walk took us higher up the mountain. High enough to attach ourselves to ropes, pray to our respective Gods and then throw ourselves down it at lightning speed.

The zip lines were certainly not for those of a faint heart. Stretching for what looked like almost 500m, the biggest one certainly looked about that length, the ropes covered the yawning gaps that existed between one part of the mountain and the other. After reaching the high point from the gorge walk and subsequent mini-hike, it became a case of working your way back down the mountain by clipping up, positioning yourself parallel to the overhead rope and waiting for the instructor to give you a  good old shove.  As mentioned before the scenery was spectacular. Quite strangely, it was equally – if not more – spectacular to take it in as you flew through the air like a fully fuelled jet.

However the adrenaline pumping (perhaps pant soiling) activities were not the only ones you could experience at the mountain ranch. It had a bar, a swimming pool, an archery range, quad bike track and even a ping-pong table. There’s also the opportunity to go on two and three day hikes through the mountains. At the end of each day you apparently set up camp at your point, rest, have a meal/refreshments and then resume your hike the next day. The ranch itself also offers guests the opportunity to stay if they simply value the peace and the quiet.

It seemingly offered something for every traveller, whether that be to thrill or to chill. A must-visit.
