Day Treks From Imlil to the surrounding toubkal Massif valleys
At the centre of the High Atlas, almost in the shadow of Mt Toubkal (4,167m), the highest point in North Aftrica, is the village of Imlil (1,740m). The village has become the most popular starting point for ascents of the great mountain and for a wide range of less demanding hikes and Treks.
Our range of treks include both 2, 3, 6 and 7 day itineraries that include an ascent of the summit of Mt Toubkal, and a selection of more gentle hikes through the picturesque panoramas, mountain passes, valleys and Berber villages of the High Atlas

Itinerary
IMLIL - TIZI n'TAMATERT - AMGHEDOUL - TACHEDDIRT - TIGHOURINE - IMLIL.Setting out along a piste for a hike towards the east up to the Tizi n'Tamatert (2272m) and on through fields of wheat and orchards of walnut, apple and cherry trees until you reach the village of Tamatert (1810m). Once through the village take a path which then leads up through pine and juniper woods; stop at the Tizi to admire the Imlil and Imenane Valleys, the latter with its many terraced Berber villages tucked precariously on to the slopes stretching around you. All along with Adrar n'Oukaimeden (3268m), almost as high as the Rockies, on the southern horizon, with the high peaks of the Tizi n'Eddi (2928m) and the Jbel Angour (3616m) also looming down.
Continue the hike along the Tamatert Valley slopes until you reach the location for your field picnic at Amghedoul, surrounded now on all sides by the Toubkal Massif range. Once refreshed, set off back to the Douar Samra, first towards the oldest Berber village in this once-remote area, Tacheddirt, then via Ouaneskra and the other side of the Valley, passing through the villages of Tamegguist and Tinghourine with the stark Jbel Bou Iguenouane (3882m), Tizi n'Likemt (3615m), Aksoual (3842m) and the Azrou n'Tamadot (3664m) until a welcoming return to your accommodation.
