Amellago

If you are looking for a real haven of peace, far from the touristic bustle, Amellago is the place for you.

This small village district is only 90km (1h30) from the Todra gorges. You won’t see any tourist cars here, instead you will find a luscious palm grove and mud huts dotted here and there along a tranquil river which runs all year round in the middle of this mineral desert.
Comfort and luxury is kept simple, but this is a small price to pay for the privilege of climbing in such an amazing site.
The rock here is compact limestone with orange highlights; however it’s different from the rocks found in Todra. They are unpredictable and range from flat and gritty, to compact, stratified, porous, and you never know what to expect!
This limestone, which presents characteristics very similar to those of sandstone, also offers superb columns and peaks.

Accommodation : We will sleep in a small mud hut, with everything one needs to eat well, sleep well, and wash well, but where tranquility and simplicity are the main priority.

This trip is aimed at climbers that have some experience of climbing. In order to get the most out of it, a 5+ lead climbing level and a 6a+ top rope level is advised.

During the 3 days on site we will regularly change zones, so as to discover the many facets of the rock climbing in the area.
