Marrakech9 hoursmoderateUp to 12 peopleEN · FR · ES4.7(158)Rated 4.7 by 158 travellers

Overview

A full day on foot in the High Atlas without the altitude. The loop leaves Imlil over the Tizi n'Mzik col, drops through the Aït Mizane villages and returns along the river, about five hours of walking with around 600 metres of ascent.

Lunch is in a village home, where the family cooks a tagine over wood and serves mint tea on the roof terrace with the Toubkal massif behind.

    Exactly as described

    Booked three things through Atlas Nomad in a week and every pickup was on time. The driver on the Agafay trip went out of his way to find us a quieter spot for the sunset.

    Worth the early start

    A long day but the guide paced it well and never rushed us. Being able to pay the balance on the day made booking from home much easier.

    Très bien organisé

    Organisation impeccable et guide passionnant. Le déjeuner n était pas inclus, ce qui est clairement indiqué, mais prévoyez des espèces.
