Enjoy a two-day mountain trek through the High Atlas, hiking across alpine meadows, volcanic formations, and scenic passes. Take in sweeping valley views, peaceful waterfalls, and spend a night in Imlil Valley with authentic local hospitality.
Day one begins with a hotel pickup in Marrakech and a scenic drive to Imlil Valley at 1,700 m. Meet your local guide and hike through fragrant pine forests toward Tidli Pass, stopping to admire panoramic views of Imlil Valley, Mount Toubkal, and surrounding peaks. Continue across volcanic rocks and glacial formations toward Armed Village, pausing to take in the landscapes.
A traditional Berber lunch on a rooftop in the village allows interaction with locals and sampling authentic Moroccan cuisine. In the afternoon, hike to the picturesque Imlil Waterfalls before returning to your guesthouse in the valley for dinner and an overnight stay. Day two begins with breakfast, followed by the ascent to Tizi Tamatert Pass, offering sweeping views over the Imnan and Tachdirt Valleys. After lunch at the pass, descend to Imlil Valley to meet your driver for the return trip to Marrakech.
High Atlas Mountains are Morocco’s premier trekking destination, combining rugged peaks, alpine meadows, and glacial valleys. Traditional Berber villages along the route offer cultural insight and authentic local experiences amidst spectacular natural settings.
Imlil Valley serves as an ideal base for trekking, with waterfalls, meadows, and passes all within reach. The region allows for immersive mountain experiences with easy access from Marrakech, blending adventure with comfort and scenic beauty.
Overnight accommodation is provided in a welcoming local guesthouse in Imlil Valley. Rooms are simple but comfortable, with clean bedding and bathroom facilities. After a day of hiking, you can relax in a warm, friendly atmosphere while enjoying views of the surrounding mountains.
Meals at the guesthouse include breakfast and dinner, featuring authentic Berber recipes with local ingredients. The combination of comfort, authenticity, and mountain charm makes the stay a memorable part of your two-day adventure.
A moderate level of fitness is recommended for walking on uneven terrain across both days. Participants should be comfortable with several hours of hiking each day at altitude.
Hiking shoes, layered clothing, sun protection, and a small backpack for personal items are recommended. While guidance is provided, participants should bring personal essentials such as water, snacks, and cameras.
Experienced local guides ensure a safe, well-paced trek while sharing knowledge of the Atlas Mountains’ flora, fauna, and Berber culture. Their expertise ensures access to the best viewpoints, trails, and local interactions.
Small groups and personalised attention make the journey enjoyable, with a mix of natural beauty, cultural experiences, and authentic hospitality providing a unique and memorable adventure.
The meeting point is in Marrakech, with pick-up and drop off available from your hotel.
