Itinerary
Imlil is the most dramatic valley in the High Atlas — steep walls of walnut forest, rushing rivers, terraced fields and Berber villages clinging to the mountainside. It is also the gateway to Jbel Toubkal, North Africa's highest peak at 4,167 metres. Your day begins with a scenic 1.5-hour drive from Marrakech into the mountains. In the village of Imlil, your local mountain guide takes over — someone who knows every path, every shortcut and every family in the valley. You'll hike to the traditional village of Aroumd at 1,800 metres, passing through ancient irrigation channels carved into the rock and orchards of apple and walnut. The views from Aroumd across the valley to the snow-capped peaks are extraordinary — one of the finest panoramas in Morocco. Lunch is served at a local café or traditional family home — simple, fresh Berber food at altitude. The descent follows a different path, revealing new perspectives of the valley.

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).
