This gentle three-day trek takes you deep into the High Atlas Mountains, where you’ll meet Berber communities and discover their age-old traditions. As you cross through juniper forests, fertile valleys, and traditional adobe villages, you’ll experience a lifestyle rooted in simplicity and harmony with nature. A cultural and human adventure, perfect for exploring the scenic valleys of Toubkal and connecting with the local population.
After breakfast, you will set off to discover the High Atlas, its traditional Berber villages made of adobe, and its beautiful green valleys. You’ll reach the village of Imi-Oughlad (1400m), where you’ll meet your muleteer and cook team. After loading the luggage, your day’s hike begins with a steady ascent to the Tacht Pass (2000m), passing through a forest of junipers and green oaks. Once at the pass, you’ll stop for lunch, then continue in the afternoon along the mountainside to the village of Tizien (1700m). Dinner and overnight stay in a guesthouse. 5 hours of walking.
You’ll ascend the beautiful Azaden Valley, discovering terraced fields and meeting Berber locals. You’ll stop at a local home to enjoy a refreshing mint tea, then have lunch. In the afternoon, your hike continues up to the Tamsoulte cirque, a sublime summer grazing area for village flocks. Arrival at the refuge (2250m), dinner and overnight stay. 4 hours of walking.
You’ll leave this magical spot along the mountainside and reach the Mzik Pass (2300m), from where you’ll enjoy a panoramic view of the Ait Mizane Valley.
