Itinerary
Pass by: Your experience begins with pick-up from your accommodation in Marrakech. Enjoy a comfortable departure from the city as you head towards the Atlas Mountains, leaving behind the vibrant atmosphere of Marrakech for a day immersed in nature and local culture.
Travel through the stunning landscapes of the High Atlas Mountains, passing along the scenic Righaya Valley and the Moulay Brahim Gorges. Admire breathtaking panoramic views, traditional villages, and the natural beauty that defines this remarkable mountain region.
On Saturdays, you will have the opportunity to visit the lively weekly market in Asni. This authentic local souk offers insight into rural Moroccan life, where villagers gather to buy and sell fresh produce, livestock, and handmade goods. An optional stop at a women’s cooperative in Tahnaout can also be arranged.
Upon arrival in Imlil, often called the “Little Chamonix” of the Atlas Mountains, begin a guided hike through the Berber villages of Arghen and Mzzik. Enjoy a traditional mint tea with a local family and continue towards the waterfalls while taking in views of Mount Toubkal. The trek proceeds through walnut groves and terraced fields to the village of Ait Souka. Lunch is included for guests who select the “Tour with Lunch” option at the time of booking. The hike can be adjusted according to fitness level and age, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all.

Traveler reviews
We really enjoyed the...
We really enjoyed the day. Rahaoui was a wonderful driver. He informed us of the things we could see along the way without any pressure to stop if we didn't want to. And he made sure we could stop at the market on Saturday, although it was a little hard to park. Our house for walking and eating was also very competent and helpful.
Amazing Atlas Mountains
Had a wonderful experience. Hamza led an excellent trip with an excellent local guide. I would not hesitate to choose this tour again and will recommend to friends and family.

Good trip away from Marrakech and the 40 degree heat! A welcome cooler visit to the lower mountains. Private car & driver Nour contacted us on WhatsApp before pick up at 9am at hotel. Arrived on time. Make sure you have data for the day to contact driver. Trip on Tuesday so not a full market in Asni however we enjoyed looking at the local life and traders on an 'off day' for say 30 mins stop. Expect to get put upon by locals selling trinkets. Good views of local life along the way with stops offered at usual selling spots. Imlil is a nice village with local and travelling tourists in mind. We did a 5k trek through the local paths/ roads using Komoot and not a guide. Note on this trip that a guide is not included in price. We walked up local paths which were quite steep and loose stone/ rocky. Not suitable for wheelchair, strollers or those unsure of footing. Paths take you to waterfalls where visitors/ local relax with a number of food and goods stalls along the way. Return along road for round trip or descend back on rocky path. Great views of villages Aroumd & Imlil plus mountains. One kid hassling for money but not a problem. Back in Imlil a nice cafe stop before pick up and return to Marrakech. Time was ours to manage so no rushing by driver. Contacted Nour when we were ready and he arrived to pick us up. An interesting day!
