Leave Marrakech for two days of walnut groves, mule tracks and Toubkal-adjacent views. This comfortable multi-day trek combines accessible mountain walking with lodge stays and local Berber hospitality.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A dusty minibus peels away from the ochre walls of Marrakech at first light, and within an hour and a half the city’s heat gives way to copper-green soil and juniper-sprigged slopes. You step out at Imi Oughlad (about 1,450 m), shoulder your daypack, and follow a mule track that threads walnut groves, a rushing mountain stream, and terraces that climb toward Toubkal’s lower ridgelines.

Wildlife
History
The valleys are inhabited by Amazigh (Berber) communities whose terraced agriculture and stone villages date back centuries and shaped local routes between valleys.
Conservation
Stick to marked trails and lodges’ waste rules; water is managed carefully in these valleys and visitors should avoid single-use plastics and respect grazing rotations.

Acclimatize slowly
Start with an easy first day (itinerary includes a gentle acclimatization trek) to reduce fatigue at higher elevations.
Footwear matters
Wear well-broken-in hiking boots with good ankle support—sections can be rocky and uneven after rain.
Carry small cash
Bring local dirhams for tea, tips and small village purchases—ATMs are limited once you leave Marrakech.
Hydration and sun
Bring a 1–2 L refillable bottle and sunscreen; mountain sun is intense and trails can be exposed between groves.
