Day Trip to Imlil Hiking

Day 1: Marrakech – Tahnaout – Asni – Imlil – Aroumd – Marrakech

Your mountain adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel or riad in Marrakech, typically between 8:00 AM and 8:30 AM. You’ll travel in an air-conditioned vehicle through the scenic countryside, passing traditional Berber villages and beautiful valleys.

The first stop is the village of Asni, where you can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. From there, continue to Imlil (1,740 metres), the gateway to Toubkal National Park. Upon arrival, meet your local Berber guide, who will lead you through the day’s activities.

Set off on a guided hike that lasts 2–3 hours, tailored to your fitness level. The trails offer breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, passing through traditional Berber villages, terraced fields, and walnut groves. Your guide will share insights about the flora, fauna, and local traditions.

For those seeking a more challenging experience, you can continue the hike to the Isk Summit at 2,500 metres for even more spectacular views. Alternatively, a shorter route takes you to the beautiful Imlil waterfall before reaching the traditional village of Aroumd.

After your hike, relax and enjoy a traditional Moroccan lunch at a local guesthouse, featuring a selection of Moroccan salads, a delicious tagine or couscous, seasonal fruit or pastries, and mint tea.

Before returning to Marrakech, stop at a women’s Argan oil cooperative to learn how Morocco’s famous oil is made traditionally. Leave Imlil around 4:00 PM and enjoy the scenic drive back to Marrakech, arriving by approximately 6:00 PM, with drop-off at your accommodation.

Meals: Breakfast and lunch included

Out of this world
Words can’t even describe how this whole trip has been. From the very start Youssif was on time, matter of fact he was waiting for us and he welcomed us with open arms. We stayed with him for about two and half weeks and did everything from sleeping in the middle of the desert, riding camels, atvs, out of this world views and amazing places to eat everything single time. I think god for Youssif being our tour guide because we come here every two years and will use him every single time. If anyone is looking for a tour guide that is professional, on time, matters, knowledgeable and most importantly funny.

Un accueil incroyable
Quels voyages … ! Et oui, ce n’est pas la première fois que Youssef accompagne mes séjours au Maroc, tout simplement car il est GÉNIAL ! 😎 Lors de chaque visite il s’est adapté aux envies que nous lui avons partagé : découverte du désert, de la côte, de l’atlas … Et ce qui n’a jamais changé sont : ses sourires, sa générosité et son partage de la culture marocaine. 🌞 Je vous recommande Youssef pour découvrir le Maroc en toute sécurité et, surtout, avec tellement d’authenticité. SHUKRAN BEZEEEEEEF SOSO, « allah mawlana » (ce qui veut dire que je reviendrai le voir, c’est sûr !) 🫶

Amazing trip and youssef is the man 🤙🏽
Just booked with Youssef from Best Travel to Morocco and no cap, the whole trip was fire 🔥. Everything was smooth, well planned, and zero stress. My guy Youssef really knows how to hook things up properly. Always responsive, super chill, and made sure everything was running like clockwork. The schedule was on point, nothing felt rushed, and the whole experience was straight vibes. You can tell he actually cares about making your trip lit, not just doing the bare minimum. If you’re tryna explore Morocco the right way, Youssef is the real deal. Highly recommend 💯
