Four days is enough time to stop feeling like a visitor. This amazigh village trek moves through red-earth villages and snow-dusted valleys, past a waterfall few outside these mountains ever see, with each night spent not in a hotel, but in the homes and gîtes of the people who live here.
Starting and ending in Imlil, the route climbs through the Imnan Valley’s terraced hillsides, crosses mountain passes above 2,000 meters, and passes the largest waterfall in the region before returning to the valley floor. It’s shorter than most of our Atlas routes, ideal if you want a genuine amazigh village experience without committing a full week.
Accommodation: We will stay in Guest Houses in High Atlas Mountains

Afterwards, you pick up the trail again to reach Tachdirt, where you spend the night in a guesthouse.

Setting off in the morning from Tachdirt, you and your group head to the red village of Imsker, passing many other settlements on your way through the Imnan Valley.
