What To Expect

Embark on a popular and moderate day hike just outside of Marrakesh, ascending and descending almost 900m. Take in panoramic views of the Imlil and Imnane Valleys from several points along the route. After your early morning pickup from your hotel in the city, sit back and relax on the 64-kilometer ride towards the High Atlas Mountains. Arrive at the village of Imlil (1,740m), the starting point of your hike. Head up the Tamatert Valley to the Tizi n'Tamatert pass (2,300m) via the Berber villages of targa Imoula and Tamatert. From the pass, head into the Moroccan pine and cedar forest and pick up a trail that leads to the summit of the mighty Adrar Talamrout (2,600m). At the summit of Adrar Talamrout, take your time to marvel at the view of Mount Toubkal and the Imenane Valley and the Berber villages of Amskere and Ikkiss sprawling beneath you, before beginning your descent back to Imlil. Enjoy a lunch break on your way down, and a relaxed drop off back in Marrakesh.

It was amazing. We had booked a trip to 2600m altitude, because of a lot of snowfall last week the trip was adjusted. We walked up to 2000m altitude, but the trip was still beautiful. Along a waterfall, through villages, many views. And as icing on the cake a delicious lunch at our guide Rachid's house. Everything was well arranged, the taxi picked us up in Marrakech, and took us in 1.5h to Imlil where we walked. Then returned by the same taxi around 17:30. You really get your money's worth.

It was a wonderful experience from the outset. It was a snowy day but it was still a wonderful experience climbing the atlas mountain. We were warned the day before to be prepared for the weather. Our guide, Abdul was amazing. He was local to the area and knowledgeable of the geography and the different routes; safety and danger trouble shoots. We enjoyed the hiking, were informed of the mountains; local produce; culture of Berber etc. Abdul also took us to his home to meet his family and provided us with authentic Moroccan hpt food which was a bliss in the snowy weather. Overall we were quite impressed with the full trip. Unfortunately due to weather we could not do the summit and this is understandable.
Great hiking tour with great guide:)

So if you really want to go "hiking" then this tour is perfect. Everything was just flawless and great organized. The transfer from Marrakech to Imlil was great. Our driver was great. The tour itself was simply breathtaking. It was really a challenging hiking tour. In any case, you should bring experience and also decent hiking boots. That's exactly what I was looking for. The scenery was fantastic. Our guide was mega. He told us a lot about the history and life in the Atlas Mountains. The price for the transfer, guide, break with lunch was more than reasonable. There is nothing to complain about, quite the contrary. I'm looking forward to next time. Thank you very much for the great tour.
Amazing Hike, Absolutely Worth It!

We did a few different day trips during our stay, and this one was by far the best. It wasn’t touristy at all, which made the experience even more special. The hike itself is moderate, if you have a decent level of fitness, you’ll find it very manageable. Our guide was fantastic: knowledgeable, fun, and really made the day memorable. Lunch was delicious too! A few tips: wear grippy shoes as there’s quite a bit of scree, and bring layers because the temperature changes as you climb. Don’t forget water, some coins for the toilets, and a little extra for tipping. Overall, a perfect day out. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience and well worth doing to get some quiet from Marrakesh. Only an hour and a bit from the centre and a nice distance and difficulty if you’re reasonably fit and hike fairly often. Fine in trail runners and below the snow line in late Nov. Radouane was amazing and very knowledgeable about the local area and passionate about the history. Highlight of the trip for me and keen to come back and do Toubkal when I have longer.
Great hike, great views, great guide

Great hike & Radouin was SO patient with my elderly father (who is in pretty good shape) encouraging him to get to the top. Beautiful views & great ambiance with the group.
Fantastic hike thanks to Mohammed Mansouri

Our guide was Mohammed Mansouri and he was terrific! He is very friendly and his English is very good. We did the one-day trip and at the end of the day he showed us something extra! We received information about the trip the day before and everything was handled perfectly. Our hike was around 14 km and around 1000m elevation gain. 10/10 would recommend! Maybe one day we'll go for the Toubkal summit!
Really enjoyable hike,...

Really enjoyable hike, our guide Radouane was really helpful and happy to answer any questions throughout about the area and the local culture. Bus pickup/dropoff from central Marrakesh was easy and efficient. Good value for money would recommend.

The van was even waiting outside the door before the agreed time and drove us safely and quickly to Imlil. From the beautiful mountain village, we travelled at a good speed up to a stopover with tea. We were able to leave our rucksacks in the cottage and hiked the remaining metres to the summit with ease. On the way back we had a delicious lunch on the terrace of the hut. The guide Yousuf was always very attentive and helpful and kept the group moving at a good pace. All in all, a perfect hike for beginner mountaineers
Great hike
