Discover the authentic High Atlas on this private 2-day trek through Berber villages, walnut groves, and juniper forests. Starting from Marrakech, you travel to Imlil (1,740 m) — the gateway to the Atlas — where your licensed mountain guide leads you across scenic passes and valleys rarely reached by day-trippers.
The trek connects the Imlil Valley to the beautiful Azzaden Valley via the Tizi M’zzik pass, with panoramic views of Mount Toubkal and traditional mountain life. Along the way, you visit remote hamlets, terraced fields, waterfalls, and enjoy home-cooked meals prepared by locals.
Overnight is in a comfortable Berber guesthouse in Tizi Oussem village, offering a true cultural experience in the mountains. The second day continues through forests and quiet valleys before returning to Imlil and transferring back to Marrakech.
This is a moderate, non-technical trek, ideal for active travelers seeking authentic Atlas scenery without climbing Toubkal.
