Imlil day trip from Marrakech: a full day in the High Atlas valley

The route
A mountain day without the summit push
Imlil is the village at the foot of Jbel Toubkal and the gateway to the High Atlas trails. On this day trip you stay in the valley: the walk follows paths between terraced fields, walnut groves and Berber villages, with views up to the high ridges.
It is an easy day and a good first taste of the Atlas Mountains for beginners, families and anyone who does not want to commit to a summit. Your guide is from the villages along the route, so you see the valley the way the people who live here do.
We adapt the pace to your group, the season and trail conditions. Message us on WhatsApp with your date and group size and we confirm exactly what is included before you book.
