Highlights

Discover the Berber culture and life in the Atlas. The village of Imlil (1,740 m) is located in the centre of the High Atlas, almost in the shadow of Mount Toubkal (4,167 m), the highest point in northern Africa. The village has become the most popular starting point for big mountain climbs and a wide range of less demanding hikes and treks.

Itinerary

  1. Destination: 67 km from Marrakech (1h30 drive) Duration of the excursion: one day (from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.) Transport: Minibus A / C in good condition The starting point: Your Hotel

    4 h

  2. Imlil, in Morocco, is a perfect place to get away from it all in the Atlas Mountains. Compared to Marrakech, the Imlil region is cooler and quieter.

    45 min

  3. Once through the village, take a path that climbs through pine and juniper woods; Stop at Tizi to admire the valleys of Imlil and Imenane, the latter with its many Berber terraced villages precariously hidden on the slopes that surround you. All along with Adrar n'Oukaimeden (3268 m), almost as high as the Rockies, on the southern horizon, with the high peaks of Tizi n'Eddi (2928 m) and Jbel Angour (3616 m) also looming.

    45 min

  4. Continue hiking along the slopes of the Tamatert Valley until you reach your field picnic spot at Amghedoul, now surrounded right through by the Toubkal massif. Once refreshed, return to Douar Samra, towards the oldest Berber village in this once-isolated region, Tacheddirt, then via Ouaneskra and the other side of the valley, passing through the villages of Tamegguist and Tinghourine, with the upsetting Jbel Bou. Iguenouane (3882m), Tizi n'Likemt (3615m), Aksoual (3842m), and Azrou n'Tamadot (3664m) until a warm return to your accommodation in Marrakech.

About Marrakech

At the foot of the Atlas Mountains, red-walled Marrakech is famed for its maze-like medina, lively main square and tranquil riads and gardens.

Jemaa el-Fnaa, the great square at the centre of the medina, changes character through the day, from juice sellers and snake charmers in the morning to smoke-wreathed food stalls and musicians after dark. The minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque rises nearby as the city's landmark, and the souks spread north in a warren of lanes selling leather, lanterns, carpets and spices.

Top-ranked sights in Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Tizi-n'Tichka Pass, Jemaa el-Fna (Djemaa el-Fna).
