This is a fantastic trekking tour for when the Toubkal Summit is covered in snow. With cool evenings and warm days this trek through the spectacular Toubkal valley is a truly memorable trekking holiday. You will be rewarded with fine views of Toubkal and the surrounding peaks alongside meeting the hospitible Berber working their terraces. We walk on average 4 – 6 hours per day and will enjoy three hearty meals per day prepared by our cooks.

Departing Marrakech this morning, we take a scenic drive into the Atlas Mountains to Imi-n-Oughlad, the starting point of our High Atlas trekking adventure! Here we meet the cooks and team, with their sturdy mules, who will be trekking with us for the next 5 days. The High Atlas is the highest mountain range in North Africa, with several peaks over 4000 metres and beautiful scenery. Today we trek up winding rocky paths, to the beautiful Tizi-n-Tacht pass, where we stop for lunch. This afternoon we continue on, to the Berber village of Tizi Oussem which is tucked away in a picturesque valley. Here we spend the night in a rustic Berber house.

After breakfast we continue our trekking advenure, past Berber villages, goat herders, terraced fields and up through the Mssik pass to reach Imil, in the heart of the Mizane Valley . Imlil is a popular starting point for many High Atlas treks and it features in Kundun, Martin Scorsese’s film about the Dalai Lama; in which he used the High Atlas to double as the Himalayas. We spend the night in a Berber house, 3km south of Imlil, in the charming village of Aroumd.
