1 Day trip to Imlil

Escape Marrakech’s bustling energy for a day and immerse yourself in the High Atlas Mountains’ serene majesty. Your journey begins with a scenic two-hour drive southeast. You will wind through picturesque foothills and pass traditional market towns like Tahanout and Asni. This route offers a captivating window into rural Berber life as you enter breathtaking Toubkal National Park, home to North Africa’s highest peak.

Your destination is the charming mountain village of Imlil (1,740m), a tranquil hub for trekkers and culture seekers. The village nestles in a lush valley. Upon arrival, you can choose an authentic mode of exploration. For example, you can embark on a guided walk with a local through walnut groves and past traditional hamlets. Alternatively, you can enjoy a leisurely traditional mule ride, the classic transport method in these rugged peaks.

Your ascent leads you to the legendary Kasbah du Toubkal, a beautifully restored mountain retreat. This retreat strongly commits to community and sustainability. Here, you will enjoy unparalleled panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and Mount Toubkal itself. Next, a delicious, traditional lunch featuring authentic Berber cuisine will be served. You can savor the region’s flavors while soaking in the majestic scenery. For more adventure, you can arrange further short guided hikes to nearby waterfalls or viewpoints.

Later, on the return journey to Marrakech, we can make an optional stop at the Terres d’Amanar adventure park. This park offers a thrilling contrast to the morning’s tranquility with activities like zip-lining and mountain biking. Consequently, it is a perfect option for families.
