Itinerary of the hike around Berber villages

Day 1Day 1: Marrakech, Imi Oughlad, Tizi n’Tachte, and Tiziane

On the morning of the first day, we will depart from Marrakech, heading south through the Moulay Brahim gorge, and wind our way through the upper valleys until we reach our first stop at the higher foothills of the western part of the High Atlas Mountains. We hike over the first Pass, Tizi n’Techt, into the adjoining Eastern Valley. After 2 hours of steady climb, we get to the Pass and enjoy the first picnic lunch. We continue south, passing through several Berber villages and exploring this fantastic, less-visited area. We spend the night in our first traditional gite at Tizi Oussem. 5 hours trek.

Day 2 Day 2: Tizziane, Tizi n’Taghrhourte, and D’knt

After breakfast, we begin on our way, hiking along the Assif N’Ait Oussaden valley, taking us through the walnut groves. We will reach the 1,995m peak of Tizi n’Taghrhourte and pass through a very rare, flat stretch of land before arriving at Assaka spring. We will have a picnic while enjoying the delightful silence. The hike will take us down along the forest’s rim; then, we will reach a Berber village called D’knt at just 1,870m or Agouns n’Assoul. Overnight in a bivouac or gite.

Day 3Day 3: D’knt, Tizi n’Tagdalte, and Tizi Oussem

This morning, we start a 3-hour hike through more walnut tree groves, fields of corn, and barley and encounter many herders with sheep and goats. We will make our way down along the juniper trees until the springs. After our picnic, we continue walking to Tamsoult.  Will set up camp for the night or stay in the Refuge.

Day 4Day 4: Tizi Ouseem, Tizi N’Mzzik, and Imlil

This day consists of a short adventure to the waterfall at Azib Tamsoulte, then return so we can cross the Tizi N’Mzzik pass (2,500m). We will join the central Toubkal valley at Imlil (1,900m) for lunch and spend the night in a guest house.

Day 5Day 5: Imlil, Tizi n’ Tamatert, Ikkiss, Agersioual, and Back to Marrakech

We begin on our 6-7 hour trek through Berber hamlets and head through 2 mountain passes. The route we will take is circular to take in as much beauty and scenery as possible. The trek starts with us heading east from Imlil (1,740m), along with the side of the Tamatert valley, before eventually heading north through the Pass of Tizi n’Tamatert (2,279m), and into the Imenane after passing the Berber village of Tinerhourhine. From here, we follow the valley north again through the mule’s trails that wind through almond, walnut, and apple groves until we arrive at Ikiss. The next leg of the journey takes up through the mule trails to Tizi n’Aguerssioual pass (1,767m), then into the village of Aguerssioual. End of the hike around Berber villages. After lunch, drive back to Marrakech.
