Welcome to To Todra gorges
The climate in the Gorge is ideal for climbing. Winter is the most popular season, with dependable sunshine and mild temperatures from September through November and February through May. This makes it a fantastic escape for those wanting to enjoy Morocco’s sun-drenched rock walls while avoiding the heat or rain.
Getting to the Gorge is relatively easy, with Marrakech as the closest international airport. From there, regular bus services can take you to Tinghir, a nearby town just 15 kilometers from the Gorge. Taxis are available to transport you from Tinghir to the gorge entrance.
The area offers a variety of places to stay, catering to different preferences and budgets. From modest guest houses tucked within the Gorge to more luxurious hotels in the town of Tinghir, climbers can find something that suits their style. Some accommodations are situated right at the heart of the climbing zones, putting you within walking distance of many routes. These close locations allow climbers to enjoy both the beauty of the natural surroundings and the convenience of a short trek to the day’s adventure.
Climbing in Todra Gorge is about more than the sport—it’s an experience in itself. The towering limestone walls, some reaching over 200 meters, provide a breathtaking contrast to the narrow road winding through the Gorge’s depths. Local traders add to the atmosphere, often setting up their stalls along the roadside, bringing a vibrant Moroccan energy to this natural wonder.
Above the Gorge, the experience is truly serene, leaving the busyness of the tourist trails below. The thrill of ascending these rugged walls—occasionally catching a glimpse of the winding river and the traders below—is unmatched. Reaching the top of a climb offers panoramic views that reveal the Gorge in all its glory, a memory that lingers long after the climb is over.
With its mix of sport, trad, and adventure climbing, Todra Gorge offers an extraordinary playground for climbers and an experience that is hard to find elsewhere. The climbing possibilities are nearly endless, and after a day on the rock, the warm hospitality, delicious food, and tranquil nights in the area make for the perfect retreat, tempting climbers to come back again and again.
