More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A thin morning mist lifts off the terraces as you step away from the stone houses of Imlil and begin climbing toward Tizi N'tamatert. The path narrows between stacked walls and almond trees; the air is dry and cold at first, warming as the sun pushes you across scree and pasture. By midday the ridgeline opens to views of the western High Atlas, peaks cupped like fists around the valleys you’ll cross.
