The High Atlas, the greatest mountain range of North Africa, is perhaps the most beautiful and intriguing part of Morocco. It has retained a remoteness which until recent decades was virtually complete, and contains villages where the way of life has changed little for centuries.
 
 
Imlil & Imnane Valley Trek - 2 days
 

A perfect combination of an introduction to trekking in Morocco with traditional Berber culture

Detailed Itinerary [brief itinerary...]

Spend 2 days exploring the high peaks of the Atlas Mountains on foot. A hike amidst cool vegetation of juniper and pine trees is a perfect way to rejuvenate your mind and body. Go across deep gorges, gushing river streams and groves of cherry and walnut trees, as your guide takes you on a great walk up and down the beautiful hills.
The valleys are home to tiny hamlets and villages of the ethnic Berbers, a herding and farming community. Visit their homes and interact with them to know more about their traditions and customs. See their terraced fields of corn and barley and get a glimpse of their day to day living.

Day 1: Today we set out today towards the east. We walk up winding mule tracks to the Tizi n’ Tamatert (2279m) to enjoy the amazing panorama of the surrounding Atlas Mountain ranges. We will have our picnic lunch on the Tizi 'n Tamatert, overlooking Jbel Oukaimeden (3200m) and the beautiful encircled plateau. After lunch we set off following the path down to Imnane Valley. We will spend the night in a local gite.
Approx. 4 hours walking.
 
Day 2: After breakfast, we set off down the Assif Imnane Valley, passing throught several berber villages and then up to the Tizi 'n Ageursiwal (2000m). Once we pass the col we shall go down more winding mule tracks leading to the village of Aguersioual (1600m). Here we will have our lunch before returning to Imlil.
