Asni & Imlil Day Trip from Marrakech – Discover the Heart of the High Atlas
Embark on an unforgettable day trip from Marrakech to Asni and Imlil, two of the most scenic gems of the High Atlas Mountains. This tour combines breathtaking landscapes, Berber cultural experiences, and an optional hike through Toubkal National Park, home to North Africa’s highest peak.
Your journey begins at 9:00 a.m. as you head towards Asni Valley, one of the most attractive valleys in the Grand Atlas region. Along the way, admire traditional Berber villages, lush terraced farms, and panoramic mountain views.
Upon reaching the charming village of Imlil, located at an altitude of 1,745 meters, you’ll be immersed in authentic Berber village life. Known as the gateway to Toubkal National Park, Imlil is a favorite starting point for hikers and adventurers.
For those who wish, enjoy an optional 1-hour guided hike to the village of Armed — the highest and one of the most scenic Berber villages in the region. Your local mountain guide will share stories about Berber traditions, customs, and life in the High Atlas.
Back in Imlil, you’ll be welcomed into a local Berber home for a delicious traditional meal. Savor an authentic Berber tagine, fresh Moroccan salads, homemade bread, and finish with freshly prepared Berber mint tea — and even learn how to make it!
After lunch, take a short break and soak in the calm atmosphere at the foot of the surrounding hills. On your return to Marrakech, enjoy stunning views of olive groves, apricot orchards, and the golden cereal fields of the Haouz plain
