Itinerary of your trip Best Hiking Treks From Marrakech

  • Day 1 Day 1
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1

      After Breakfast, our driver will take you to Imlil, where your trekking crew will be waiting for you to greet you and load your belongings and all you need for the journey on mules. Imlil (7400 ft), also known as Moroccoโ€™s Little Chamonix, is way up into the foothills of the Western High Atlas ranges, where our trailhead for your journey begins. You will set out hiking along a trail of supreme natural beauty with streams and paths all around you through plots of barley and orchards of walnut, apple, and cherry trees. Hike eastward for almost two hours to reach the Tizi nโ€™Tamatert (2272m). Here we will pause to relax from your trekking to admire the village life and the view of the Imlil and Imenane Valley and its cliff-hanging villages to Mount Oukaimden (9700 ft) at the horizon.

      Our afternoon will carry on trekking along the upper valley slopes for another hour to the villages of first Ouaneskra and then Amghedoul (6100 ft) set amidst terraced plots of land carved from the rugged slopes. We will hike to reach the pretty - and the oldest - Berber village in the Toubkal Massif - Tacheddirt (6400 ft), set amongst terraced plots clawed from the surrounding craggy slopes, where weโ€™ll stay overnight in a gite (Berber House with hot shower).

    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2

      Today we will wake up with the villagers to enjoy their early activities and have a full Berber breakfast fresh from the oven. After breakfast, we start our day hiking eastwards to the terraced village of Timichi (5200 ft) on the western side of the Ourika Valley. Our hike will be around 3 hours in the morning up the Tizi nโ€™Tacheddirt (9600 ft); hiking in this valley offers us a stunning panoramic view of the Jebel Aksouรขl (11400 ft) on one side and of Bou Iguenouane (12600 ft) and Angour (12200 ft) on the other. This is an excellent introduction to the lash valley of Ourika and its terraces.

      After a picnic lunch next to a natural spring, we shall climb up to cross the pass and continue through the rocks northeast for a further three hours until we reach the Berber village of Laabassene (6400ft). Later we will proceed down the valley to the old town of Timichi, set amongst ancient nut trees, where weโ€™ll have our dinner and stay overnight in a Berber family home.

  • Day 3 Day 3
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3

      We will enjoy breakfast with a Berber family, then start our hike for a couple of hours in the morning to reach the lower slopes of this lush valley full of all sorts of vegetables and fruit groves. Here is where the Eureka Valley flows from, so many springs scattered all over the foothills of these mountains. We will hike down to Isghouarne and Agadir nโ€™Aรฏt Boulmane to arrive at the venerated Berber village of Setti Fadma. Lunch will be under thousand years old walnut trees, with waterfalls in the backdrop and hissing streams flowing all around. This is just as close as you can get to heaven without leaving Earth, an ethereal setting hard to find even in mythical books. Relax and reflect on a natural journey at its best before we go our mule caravan and ride our Van in the late afternoon, leading us back to Marrakech.
