Frequently asked questions

What's the most intense moment of the flight?
The launch. You run a few steps off a hillside slope and the ground drops away instantly. After that, the thermals carry you in a wide arc over the plateau and the Haouz plain stretching toward Marrakech.
Do you need to be fit or experienced to join?
No. The tour is listed as 'Everybody welcome' and the flight is tandem, meaning a certified pilot controls the glider throughout. You're a passenger with a front-row seat.
How high do you actually fly?
The Kik Plateau itself sits at altitude in the High Atlas foothills, so you launch already well above the Marrakech plain. The exact altitude gain above takeoff depends on thermals on the day, but the views extend across the Atlas range.
What's the best time of year to fly?
May through September is the official season. July and August bring the strongest thermals and longest soaring times, but also the highest demand, so reserve your spot at least 2 weeks ahead.

Practical info

Season

May – September

Equipment

Wear comfortable, layered clothing and closed-toe shoes with ankle support for the takeoff run. The session runs 3 hours including transfers, so bring sunscreen and sunglasses as UV exposure at altitude is significant.

Getting there

Traces Berberes sends a driver directly to your hotel, riad or any agreed pickup point in Marrakech, so no need to arrange your own transport to the Kik Plateau.
