VISIT MAGHREB / Tours / 3-Day Atlas Trek in Toubkal National Park from Marrakech
Quick answer
Three days on foot in the High Atlas from Imlil: Berber villages, terraced fields and mountain paths, with a local mountain guide and nights in a mountain lodge. No Toubkal summit — the summit is a separate programme on request. 3 days · 2 nights · from € 429 per person · Private tour.
This 3-day Marrakech tour is a private tour starting and ending in Marrakech. The route runs from Marrakech through Imlil, Aremd, Sidi Chamharouch, Toubkal National Park and back to Marrakech. You travel in a private air-conditioned vehicle with your own driver, only with your own group, you set the pace, and you stay in hand-picked riads and hotels along the way.
This is High Atlas trekking at its best: mountain paths through Berber villages, mule support for the bags, and nights in a mountain lodge. You need decent walking shoes and a reasonable level of fitness — the guide sets a steady pace and the views do the rest.
The best time to visit Morocco is March to May and September to November, when the days are warm and the crowds are thinner. The tour runs all year. The price for this tour is confirmed on enquiry — send us your dates and group size and we send you a quote.
