2 Person Minimum
This three-day trek invites you to explore the spectacular valleys of the Toubkal Massif in Morocco's High Atlas. Along trails that wind through juniper forests, authentic Berber villages, and mountain passes offering stunning views of the surrounding peaks, you’ll immerse yourself in generous nature and warm mountain culture. Guided by a local, experienced team, this adventure blends hiking, cultural encounters, and serenity in the heart of majestic landscapes.
After breakfast, transfer in a comfortable vehicle towards the Toubkal Massif, a natural barrier overlooking lush valleys and irrigated plains. Famous for its Berber villages, warm hospitality, and a diversity of majestic landscapes. Arrival at Imlil village (1,740 m), known for its walnut, apple, and cherry production. While these crops are still important to the local economy, they have largely been overshadowed today by tourism. Meet your muleteer and cook team. After loading the bags, you begin your walk through a young forest of Aleppo pines and junipers to reach the Mzik pass (2,300 m). Stop in the shade of junipers for lunch, then continue along the mountainside through an old juniper forest to reach Tamsoulte (2,250 m). Settle in at the refuge, dinner, and overnight. 4 hours of walking.
Leave the Tamsoulte cirque by climbing toward the Tizikerte pass (3,200 m), from where you’ll enjoy panoramic views of Mount Aksoual and much of the valley. Then descend toward the village, arriving late morning at Aremd (1,980 m). Settle in at the guesthouse and have lunch. In the afternoon, visit the village. Dinner and overnight. 5 hours of walking.
Head toward the Tidli site, then reach a large viewpoint overlooking the entire Aït Mizane valley. Cross a young forest of Aleppo pines to arrive at Tamaterte village. Stop for lunch, then transfer back to Marrakech in the afternoon.
