A two-day, one-night trek from Marrakech into the High Atlas that links Tahnouet, Asni and Imlil. Expect a three-hour mountain walk through Berber villages, simple overnight accommodations, and big mountain views.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Dust from Marrakech fades as the minibus climbs into the High Atlas and the air sharpens. You arrive in small market towns—Tahnouet, Asni—before the road narrows toward Imlil, a village sitting at roughly 1,740 m where mule tracks and stone terraces lead upward. On this two-day route you trade city heat for cool pine-scented tracks and a three-hour walk through Berber villages, fields, and gullies that feel engineered to challenge and reward in equal measure.

Acclimatize to altitude
Spend the morning in Marrakech and avoid heavy exertion on arrival day; Imlil sits around 1,740 m so take it steady to reduce fatigue.
Bring a refillable water bottle
Water sources can be limited—carry at least 1.5–2 L and treat or refill at guesthouses when available.
Wear grippy footwear
Trails include loose scree and packed dirt; ankle-supporting hiking boots reduce the risk of sprains.
Carry cash
Small villages and gîtes rarely accept cards—have Moroccan dirhams for meals, tips, and local purchases.
Sturdy hiking boots
Support and traction on rocky, variable trails are essential.
Warm insulating layer
Temperatures drop sharply after sunset—bring a fleece or down jacket.
