About this activity
Your guide will pick you up from your riad or hotel in Marrakech at 9am before departing in a private 4WD towards Imlil valley passing by Moulay Brahim Gorges and Asni (well-known with its weekly Berber market every Saturday). After 17km you arrive to Imlil (1,740m), a starting point of several trekking and walking options through the High Atlas valleys and Berber villages including Mount Toubkal (4167m) - the highest summit in North Africa. Here you will leave your vehicle to take a welcome glass of mint tea in the village and meet your local guide prior to setting out for some 4km excursion on a 2 hours or 3 hours walk towards the south to the Berber village of Aremd (2000m). Passing the hamlets of ait souka, Targa, and Imoula, and up to Armed village where you will enjoy a panoramic view over the villages and the high Atlas peaks such as Mount Toubkal, Aguelzim summit, Adge, Tamatert pass, Mazzik pass and Asaoul.
A short visit through Armed with its narrow streets including a mint-tea in one of the local berber houses, then walk through the irrigated terraced fields of barley, corn and vegetables and always surrounded by almond and walnut trees. The trek then continues for another half an hour until the stop for lunch which will be served among a Berber familly in the village of M’zik. After lunch you set off back down the other side of the valley back to Imlil passing by the village of Arghen, and the return trip to Marrakech.

Rachid our guide was lovely, taking the lunch in nature option - we were met by a local berber villager with a superb full lunch on his mule overlooking snow capped mountains, very memorable
