Algeria · Kabylie
Djurdjura Jaunts
Cedar forests, mirror-still mountain lakes and Berber villages on green hillsides, in the high heart of Kabylie.
The journey
Cedar forests, mirror-still mountain lakes and Berber villages clinging to green hillsides. The Djurdjura is the soulful, high-country heart of Kabylie, and one of Algeria's best kept secrets.
This is a gentle cultural immersion as much as a mountain journey. You walk among ancient cedars, share tea and a meal in a Kabyle village, and wake to the snow-dusted peaks of the Djurdjura range.
Everything moves at the unhurried pace of the mountains, with time to talk, taste and simply take in the views from the high passes.
How the journey unfolds
Into the mountains
Leave Algiers behind and climb into Kabylie, settling into a village stay framed by green peaks.
Cedars and summits
Walk among the ancient cedars of the national park and out to viewpoints over the Djurdjura range.
Village life
Spend time with a Kabyle family, learning local crafts, cooking and the rhythm of mountain life.
Lakes and farewell
Visit a high mountain lake and meadow before the scenic descent back toward the coast and Algiers.
