Imlil day trip Marrakech

Imlil day trip Marrakech is a day excursion to the Atlas Mountains from Marrakech to visit the magical site Imlil. You will take a guided trek around villages and enjoy magnificent panoramic views of the Atlas Mountains. Imlil situated in the heart of Mizane valley, is the most popular trailhead in Morocco. It is about an hour 30 minutes drive from Marrakech to Imlil, the main starting point of treks. We will continue through the valley of Tahnaoute and Asni. And in Imlil, we will take a walk of 2 to 3 hours through villages then visit the beautiful Toubkal Kasbah in the valley. It is possible to ride mules around Berber villages and enjoy the stunning views.
In the afternoon, after you enjoy a traditional lunch in a Berber Guesthouse, we will retrace our steps when we return to Marrakech.

Departure from Marrakech is by vehicle at around 9 a.m. The ride will last 90 minutes and take you south up the Moulay Brahim Gorges. Every Saturday, Asni has a weekly market, which is a thrilling experience! We will next proceed to Imlil (1,740m), located in the higher-level foothills of the Western High Atlas mountains, a main trailhead with streams and paths spreading out in all directions. We will leave our vehicle in the village to enjoy a glass of mint tea before embarking on your 2 or 3-hour trek, depending on your preferences.

Your guide will drive you south to Waterfalls and then to Armed, a Berber settlement at 1,843 metres. Our walk will include a visit to Armed, a community located in the Assif Aït Mizane Valley. It’s a stunning experience that you shouldn’t miss. This area was erected house by house atop a vast moraine spur, overlooking historic irrigated terraced fields of barley, corn and vegetables and bordered by walnut trees. The journey then continues for another hour. After lunch in a family home, you’ll return down the other side of the valley to Imlil and then Marrakech.
