Trekking in the Atlas

5-Day Berber Villages Trek in the High Atlas

A trek about the villages rather than the summits: Azzaden, Imlil, the shrine at Sidi Chamharouch and the Green valley of Imnane.

Five days in the valleys around Imlil at a walking pace that leaves time for the villages themselves. Your guide is from the mountains, and the nights are in village guesthouses and a riad in Imlil.

Day three is a lighter day up the valley to the shrine village of Sidi Chamharouch, on the path toward Toubkal.
