Atlas Mountains and three valleys with Berber lunch
This trip links three High Atlas valleys in one day: Asni and its markets, Imlil at the foot of Toubkal, then the return through the Ourika landscapes. A concentrated dose of mountains, less than ninety minutes from Marrakech.
Lunch is taken in a Berber family home: a tagine cooked on the spot, bread from the family oven, mint tea on the terrace. It is the moment travellers remember most.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be a good walker?
No. The walks last under an hour on village paths. Tell us about any mobility concerns.

When is the best season?
Spring for the blossoming orchards, autumn for the light. In winter the snow-capped peaks make the valley spectacular.
