Tahnaout
After a smooth ride in your comfortable vehicle, we hit the road to the mountains. Your first stop will be at the village of Tahnaout, located at the foot of the High Atlas. Accompanied by your Expert Guide, you will discover this traditional village nestled among vast fields of olive trees. It is the ideal place for a first immersion in the local culture and to take your first pictures of the green landscapes before climbing to altitude.

Tahnaout
We make a privileged stop for an authentic Berber Breakfast. You will taste local products: local olive oil, pure honey and the must-have Amlou (a tasty mixture of almonds, argan oil and honey). After this moment of sharing, you will discover the know-how of local women in an Argan cooperative. You will observe the traditional techniques of extracting this precious oil, from the nut to the vial
50 minutes

Asni
We continue your ascent to the village of Asni. We will mark a special stop to enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the valley. This is one of the best vantage points to admire the contrasts between the red earth, the greenery of crops and the snow-capped peaks of the Atlas in the background. Your Guide will help you identify the various peaks and surrounding villages. Get your cameras ready

Imlil
Welcome to Imlil, a real gem nestled 1800 meters above sea level at the foot of the mythical Mount Toubkal. This is where your total immersion begins. Accompanied by your Guide, you start an accessible walk through winding trails to discover the daily life of Berber villages clinging to the mountains. You will observe the unique adobe architecture and ancestral irrigation system that makes the richness of the valley.
The highlight of the hike will be a visit to the famous Imlil waterfall, a refreshing place offering a striking natural spectacle. After the effort, make way for comfort: you will be welcomed in a traditional Berber house. On a terrace with panoramic views, you will enjoy an authentic lunch (Tajine, couscous) prepared with love by a local family. It is much more than a meal, it is a privileged moment of sharing that will remain the strongest memory of your trip to Morocco

Plateau du Kik
We leave the valleys to reach the majestic Plateau du Kik, located about 1350 meters above sea level. This limestone plateau offers one of the most spectacular panoramas in the region, with a plunging view of the Lalla Takerkoust Dam on one side and the snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas on the other. Walking through this wild lunar landscape, you will see fields of grain as far as the eye can see and small isolated villages. It is a moment of pure serenity, far from the beaten track, where the end-of-day light sublimates the colors of Moroccan land.

ouzguita randonnée parc de loisirs
Arriving on the heights of Ouzguita, on the magnificent plateau of Kik, you will get to know our camels, the real 'desert ships'. These sweet and fascinating animals await you for a peaceful ride at the pace of their steps. Dressed in a traditional wicker for total immersion, you will climb on your mount to explore the wild landscapes of the plateau.
It’s a unique experience: rocked by the slow pace of the camel, you’ll enjoy absolute silence and 360-degree views of the Atlas Mountains and Lake Lalla Takerkoust in the distance. Our local camel makers will share with you their passion for these intelligent and respected animals, allowing you to create an authentic link with Moroccan nature before heading back to Marrakech.
