Overview

This 3-day hiking trip starts with a morning departure from Marrakech, heading into the High Atlas Mountains. The first day includes a drive of about an hour to Imlil where you check into a guesthouse or riad. In the afternoon, you walk through nearby Berber villages such as Tagadirt or Tacheddirt, exploring terraced fields and mountain paths before having dinner with a local Berber family or at the guesthouse. On the second day, after breakfast, the trek continues with a longer ascent through valleys, orchards, streams, and several Berber villages. You reach a more remote guesthouse or mountain lodge in the Azzadene valley for an overnight stay. The evening includes dinner and time to talk with locals while enjoying mountain views. The final day begins with a hike down scenic trails from the mountain village towards Armed. Around midday, you stop in a village for lunch and traditional mint tea with local hosts. The trip concludes with a drive back to Marrakech, arriving in the early evening. This tour offers three trekking options based on fitness: 4-5 hours of walking daily, 2-4 hours daily, or a minimal walking route with mule rides. All options include visits to a Berber family and the chance to experience village life. Meals, accommodation, mule support for bags, and private transport to and from Marrakech hotels are included.
