3 Valleys in Atlas Mountains Full-Day Hiking Trip

Depart from Marrakech in the morning and 1 hour drive to Moulay Brahim gorge. Reach the main trail, with streams and trails diverging in all directions, and enjoy the dramatic scenery on a camel ride. Hop in your car and continue to the Imlil Valley, passing many Berber villages along the way.
Leave your car in Imlil and drive to the village where you will be greeted with a glass of mint tea. After that, embark on a 2-3-hour hike to Armed, the tallest and largest village in the Imlil Valley. Hike to the Berber village of Ait-Suka, on the way past the villages of Ait-Mizan, Targa and Imula.
Stop at Tamaterte along the way and take in magnificent views of ancient irrigated terraced fields of barley, corn and vegetables surrounded by cherry and walnut trees. Continue for another 30 minutes to arrive at the Berber family home in Ait Suka, where you can enjoy another mint tea and dine at the Berber family home.
Return to the other side of the valley via Taurirt and continue to Marrakech.

On this full-day excursion, you’ll depart Marrakech by car at around 09:00 for a 2-hour drive south through the Moulay Brahim gorges. Stop to visit the argan oil cooperative in Tahnaout and Asni’s Saturday market along the way.

Imlil, at 1740m, is set in the upper foothills of the western High Atlas Mountains. A main trailhead leads to streams and paths branching out in all directions. Enjoy a welcome glass of mint tea in the village and meet your local guide prior to setting out on a trek (length of your choice) towards the south, to the Berber village of Aroumd (1843m).

En route you’ll pass by waterfalls, fields of crops and cherry and walnut orchards. Stop for a refreshing glass of freshly squeezed orange juice as you cool your feet at the waterfall.

Throughout your trek you’ll be rewarded with amazing views of the High Atlas Mountains. The jagged western High Atlas peaks of the Toubkal Massif will be before you, including Jbels Aguelzim (3547m), Aksouâl (3847m) and Adrar Adj (3122m).

Visit the village of Aroumd in the Assif Aït Mizane valley, overlooking ancient irrigated terraced fields of barley, corn and vegetables and surrounded by almond and walnut trees. Then head back to the village of Ait Souka, where you’ll enjoy a 3-course lunch served on the roof terrace of a traditional Berber guesthouse.

After lunch you can wander back down the road to the center of Imlil, and your guide will show you around the shops. If you have the energy, you can complete another short trek to the village of Ait Souka, and enjoy mint tea with a member of the guide’s family.

On the way back to Marrakesh you’ll stop at the Moulay Brahim gorge to experience a short camel ride through areas where Mission Impossible 5 was filmed. You’ll arrive back in Marrakech at around 18:00.
