Tour Plan
Day 1: Marrakech – Imlil Valley (1,740m) – Isk Summit (2,520m) – Aroumd – Imlil
After breakfast, your private transfer will collect you from your accommodation in Marrakech and take you south towards the spectacular High Atlas Mountains. After approximately 1.5 hours of driving, you arrive in Imlil Valley, situated at 1,740 metres above sea level.
Upon arrival, check in at your mountain lodge, which will be your base for the trek, and meet your local mountain team. Once settled, begin your first hike: a beautiful loop through the lush Tidli Forest towards the summit of Isk. The trail winds through pine and juniper woodland, following quieter mountain paths where the peaceful surroundings create a genuine sense of solitude. As you gain elevation, the forest gradually thins, revealing increasingly impressive views across the Mizane Valley.
Continue steadily uphill through traditional grazing areas and past simple shepherd shelters before reaching Isk Summit (2,520m). This tranquil viewpoint offers magnificent panoramic views towards Mount Toubkal and the surrounding High Atlas peaks.
After taking time to enjoy the scenery, begin your descent through the forest towards Aroumd, one of the largest and oldest Berber villages in the Imlil region. Dramatically built on a rocky outcrop, the village is characterised by traditional stone houses rising along the hillside.
From Aroumd, follow a gentle valley trail back towards your lodge in Imlil, arriving in the mid to late afternoon. After approximately 6 hours of walking, you will have time to freshen up and relax before enjoying a delicious farewell dinner with your team.
Walking: Approx. 6 hours
Highest point: Isk Summit, 2,520m
Overnight: Lodge in Imlil
Meals: Breakfast & dinner
Day 2: Imlil (1,740m) – Tizi Mzik Pass (2,489m) – Tasghimout Plateau (2,600m) – Imlil
Begin the day with a steady walk from your lodge in Imlil, heading southwest towards the traditional Berber village of Mazik. This first section offers a wonderful introduction to everyday life in the High Atlas.
The trail climbs gradually through terraced farmland where local communities cultivate barley, corn, and seasonal vegetables. Along the way, pass beneath walnut trees and through areas of juniper, with the scent of wild thyme accompanying you as the mountain views become increasingly expansive.
After several hours of walking, reach the Tasghimout Plateau at approximately 2,600m. This natural balcony above the Imlil Valley provides sweeping views across the Toubkal Massif. On clear days, the snow-capped summit of Mount Toubkal dominates the surrounding skyline.
From the plateau, continue along a narrow ridge towards the Tizi Mzik Pass (2,489m). During spring and summer, you may encounter local shepherds tending their flocks on the high mountain slopes.
Pause at the pass to enjoy lunch surrounded by spectacular mountain scenery, with deep valleys and rugged peaks stretching in every direction. After lunch, begin the descent along a gentler and more sheltered trail towards Imlil. The route passes shepherd huts and occasional waterfalls before gradually entering the greener landscapes of the valley. Continue through fruit orchards and alongside traditional stone irrigation channels until you reach your lodge. After approximately 6 hours of walking, relax and recover before enjoying a well-deserved Moroccan dinner.

Day 3: Imlil (1,740m) – Tizi n'Tamatert Pass (2,284m) – Talmroute Summit (2,600m) – Imlil
Your third day begins with a gradual ascent from the lodge towards the Tizi n’Tamatert Pass (2,284m), climbing steadily out of the Mizane Valley.
The trail winds through traditional Berber hamlets, where stone houses cling to the mountainsides and mules remain an important means of transport. Continue through terraced fields and fragrant juniper and pine forests, with a series of switchbacks gradually revealing wideranging views over Imlil and the surrounding valleys.
Upon reaching Tizi n’Tamatert Pass, pause to admire the views down into the peaceful Imenane Valley. From here, leave the main trail and tackle the more exposed climb towards Talmroute Summit (2,600m).
The final ascent is steep in places, but your efforts are rewarded with a spectacular 360- degree mountain panorama. On clear days, you can see the snow-capped summit of Toubkal to the southwest, while the dramatic ridgelines of the Imenane and Azzaden Valleys extend into the distance.
After a well-earned rest at the summit, begin the descent via a different route, creating a varied loop back towards Imlil. The trail takes you across rocky ridges and through pine forests before descending towards the cultivated slopes of the valley.
After approximately 6 hours of walking, return to your lodge in Imlil and enjoy some well-deserved time to relax and recover. End the day with another peaceful evening in the mountains and a delicious Moroccan dinner.
