5.0
18 Ratings

This is not your average day trip where the journey only lasts about half an hour, as most other offerings do. Instead, we’ll be starting at an elevation of 1740m and climbing an impressive 986m. This stunning day-long expedition lets you view the Atlas Mountains range from lofty heights and visit several Berber communities.

Highlights
  • Marrakesh - This popular day trek is ideal for trekkers who will be attempting to climb Mount Toubkal. We grade it as a ‘moderate’ day trek due to its almost 1,000m of ascent and descent and approx. 6 hours of walking. It offers many great views of both the Imlil and Imnane Valleys from several points in route.

I will come & pick you up from your Hotel in Marrakech at 8:00 am. Then, we drive towards the high atlas mountains which are very closer to Marrakech city.
We will make frequent stops along the way. After that, we will keep driving towards Imlil valley 1 740m.
From the center of Imlil 1740m, we first head up the Tamatert Valley to the Tizi n’Tamatert pass (2,280m) via the Berber villages of Ait Souka and Tamatert.
At the pass, there is a stone shelter with refreshments on sale (seasonal).
From the pass, we head into the Moroccan pine forest and pick up a trail that leads to the summit of Adrar Talamrout.
Reaching the summit of Adrar Talamrout (2,724m) there’s time to marvel at the view of the Imenane Valley and the Berber villages of Amskere and Ikkiss before we begin our descent back to Imlil. We’ll enjoy a lunch break on our way down. After then, We drive back to Marrakech.

Breathtaking views & fantastic guide - 10/10 hike - Radouane is a fantastic guide who paces the hike according to the group's speed and shares really interesting and insightful knowledge about the surrounding area and culture along the way. The views of the Atlas mountains from the summit were simply breathtaking and you are provided with scenic breaks for a snack and a fresh and tasty lunch along the way. Believe Radouane when he says bring proper hiking shoes! I made the mistake of taking worn out trainers with very little grip on this hike (and subsequently slipping onto my bum a lot on the way down!) but Radouane was nothing but patient and supportive, helping me all the way back to the start. If in doubt, book this hike! You won't regret it.

Hiking in the Atlas Mountains - If you want to experience the country authentically, then book this hike. It was really amazing and a nice contrast to the city. The guide is super friendly and is happy to share his knowledge of the mountain villages, life and culture in Morocco. The lunch was plentiful, super tasty and traditional. You could even order vegan. The tour is a bit more expensive but authentic 👍

A beautiful, challenging hike… exactly what I was looking for - If you want to spend some time in nature and enjoy a challenging, beautiful hike, I thoroughly recommend this! Radouane and Isktan run a great tour company. I chose this based on the good reviews, and it even exceeded my expectations. Very much as described, this isn’t a gentle walk, but a proper five or six hour hike up some pretty challenging slopes. The trip is absolutely worth its relatively higher price — it’s easy to get any old day trip out of Marrakech, but not many people are offering stuff quite like this! The views on the way up and at the summit are beautiful, and are absolutely worth the climb! Isktan was an excellent guide, and a very talented photographer. The mint tea on the way up and lunch on the way back down were delicious. As mentioned in other reviews, there’s no hidden charges or shopping stops — this is simply a scenic hike and some great food. Radouane was very easy to contact before the trip, and made arrangements for pickup and lunch. In all, this was a really great experience! I would absolutely do another tour from their company if (when!) I return to Marrakech.

5 starts tour! - Radouane is an excellent guide and the tour was amazing. Everything went very well: the pick up at our riad in a very comfortable car, the food that was served and, of course, the hike itself. The landscapes are breathtaking, and definitely worth seeing. Radouane is really passionate about his culture and the mountains, which makes the walk very enriching. Definitely the highlight of our stay in Marrakech. 5 stars!

One of the best hikes ever! - The hike was great - made possible by Radouane. He is a very experienced guide and he made sure I was comfortable, safe, happy and healthy as we trekked. He also has all the information about the place, the bames of all the mountains and villages as well as the rich cultural life of the local people. I was supported the whole way. i couldnt have reached ( and of course climbed down) without Radouane literally holding my hand on the hard bits of the walk. The lunch was also very delicious. Really enjoyed both the salad and the main dish! Highly, highly recommended!
