Marrakech

The red city — and the road that leads up to us

Distance
62 km from Dar Tassa
Getting there
1 hour 20 minutes by car
Good for
Arrival and departure days, souks, gardens

Most guests arrive through Marrakech, and the contrast is the point: an hour and twenty minutes after the last roundabout you are at 1,300 m, in the silence of Toubkal National Park.

We can arrange a private transfer from the airport, the medina or your riad, and can pick you up again at the end of your stay. Many guests spend a night in the city on each side of their time in the mountains.

What to see

Getting to Dar Tassa

Take the R203 towards Asni and Ouirgane. The road is paved the whole way and climbs steadily; allow 1h20 without stops, longer on souk days.

Before you head up

The Jemaa el-Fna, the souks and the gardens are worth a morning. Leave the city by mid-afternoon so you arrive in daylight.

A day out instead

Staying in Marrakech? Our full-day trip brings you up for a guided walk, the old oil mill and lunch on the terrace, then back the same evening.
