Day one climbs from Imlil over the Tizi n'Tamatert Pass into the Imnane Valley, passing traditional Berber settlements and terraced fields to Ouaneskra. Day two is the highest of the trek, crossing the Tizi n'Labbassen Pass at 3,172 metres for spectacular views before descending to the quiet village of Timichi. The final day passes through further Berber villages as the scenery turns greener descending into the Ourika Valley, finishing at Setti Fadma with its waterfalls before transferring back to Marrakech. 🌟 Why Choose Us This suits travellers who want a short but genuinely varied High Atlas trek, linking two distinct valleys via high mountain passes rather than an out-and-back route, with a real chance of spotting Barbary macaques along the way. An English-speaking guide leads the trek, with mules or porters carrying luggage and supplies throughout. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included 2 nights accommodation Professional English-speaking trekking guide Meals during the trek Mules or porters to carry luggage and supplies All transportation during the tour ### What’s not included Flights Travel insurance Guide and driver gratuities Personal expenses Meals in Marrakech Transport to and from the meeting point before pickup and after final drop-off ### Kit list Sturdy broken-in trekking boots Warm layers for cold nights at altitude Waterproof and windproof outer layers Sun hat, sunglasses and high-factor sun protection Small daypack, reusable water bottle and head torch Camera or binoculars for spotting wildlife ## FAQs ### What makes this trek different from other short Atlas treks? Rather than looping back to the same starting point, this trek links two distinct valleys, Imlil and Ourika, crossing two significant passes including the 3,172 metre Tizi n'Labbassen, giving a real sense of traversing the mountains rather than an out-and-back walk. Finishing in a different valley from where you start is a distinctive feature of this route. ### Will I see wildlife on this trek? The mountains along this route are home to wild Barbary macaques, a rare monkey species native to the Atlas and Rif Mountains, and with a bit of luck you may spot them during the trek, alongside other typical High Atlas birdlife. Sightings aren't guaranteed, but the habitat along this route makes it more likely than on many other trails. ### How difficult is the second day? Day two is the most demanding, crossing the Tizi n'Labbassen Pass at 3,172 metres, the highest point of the trek, so a reasonable level of fitness is recommended even though the overall trek is graded medium. The views from the pass make the effort worthwhile for most trekkers. ### What is Setti Fadma known for? Setti Fadma, where the trek finishes in the Ourika Valley, is a lively village known for its waterfalls and is a popular spot for both trekkers and day visitors from Marrakech. Arriving here on foot after crossing from Imlil gives a different perspective than visiting on a standard day trip. ### Is my luggage carried during the trek? Yes, mules or porters carry luggage and supplies throughout the trek, so you only need a daypack with water, layers and personal essentials during the walking days. This applies across all three days. ### Where do we stay overnight? The first two nights are spent in traditional Berber guesthouses in villages such as Ouaneskra or Tacheddirt and Timichi, giving an authentic introduction to mountain hospitality along the route. Both stops are simple but comfortable, in keeping with the villages they're part of. ### What is the minimum age and group size? The minimum age is 10, and the short overall length makes this an accessible option for families with older, active children. Group sizes range up to 20 people, and private departures can be arranged on request. ### What should I pack for this trek? Sturdy broken-in trekking boots, warm layers for cold nights at altitude, and waterproof and windproof outer layers are essential. A camera or binoculars for spotting wildlife are also worth packing given the chance of seeing Barbary macaques. ### Do I need previous trekking experience? This trek is graded medium but reaches 3,172 metres at the Tizi n'Labbassen Pass on day two, so a reasonable level of fitness is recommended for that section in particular. No technical climbing is involved anywhere on the route. ### What is the cancellation policy? Cancellations made more than 90 days before departure receive a full refund. Cancellations between 80 and 90 days before departure receive a 50% refund, and cancellations within 70 days of departure are non-refundable. Written notice is required, and travel cancellation insurance is strongly recommended. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/active-treks-morocco-ourika-to-imlil-trek-3-days-01.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 3 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
