Jbel Sirwa Trek — Sirwa Summit Express (3 Days)

Jbel Sirwa Trek, the Sirwa Summit Express (3 Days)  is the fastest way to conquer Morocco’s highest volcanic peak at 3,305 m while enjoying the Anti-Atlas’ sculpted canyons, buttresses, and oasis valleys. Between the High Atlas and the Sahara, Sirwa offers quieter trails than Toubkal, a warmer micro-climate in winter, and unforgettable Berber encounters. If you want maximum summit payoff in minimum time, the Sirwa Summit Express delivers.

Why choose the Sirwa Summit Express:

• Fast summit plan: reach the Jbel Sirwa summit in just 3 days.

• Volcanic landscapes: otherworldly rock formations, terraces, and desert-mountain vistas.

• Authentic culture: stay in simple gîtes or tents and meet local Berber families.

• Great winter option: typically milder and drier than the High Atlas from October–April.

Difficulty & fitness

The Jbel Sirwa Trek is moderate to challenging due to sustained elevation gain and rocky paths. Expect 5–8 hours on the main day, with some easy scrambling on summit ridges. No technical climbing is required, but good fitness, sturdy footwear, trekking poles, and solid hydration are essential. Nights can be crisp even when days are warm.

Best time to go

October to April is ideal: clear skies, comfortable daytime temperatures, and starry desert nights. In hotter months, start early, rest at midday, and carry extra water and electrolytes.

Responsible travel

We keep group sizes reasonable, respect water sources, minimize single-use plastic, and purchase local produce. Dress modestly in villages and ask before taking photos.
