An unforgettable hiking experience through the Atlas Mountains, this route takes you from the charming village of Imlil up to the summit of Tedli at 2,500 metres. Along the way, enjoy scenic trails, traditional Berber villages, and impressive mountain views. With a local guide leading the way, you'll gain insights into the region’s culture while taking in the spectacular surroundings.
The day begins with a hotel pick-up from Marrakech, followed by a scenic drive through the countryside to Imlil. This small mountain village is the perfect starting point for the hike.
After enjoying a fresh breakfast, set off on the trail, beginning at 1,740 metres above sea level. The journey takes you through Ait Souka and the Berber village of Tamatert at 1,800 metres, passing through almond and walnut groves along the way.
As the ascent continues, the landscape opens up to incredible views of Jbel Toubkal and neighbouring peaks.
Reaching the summit of Tedli at 2,500 metres is a rewarding moment, with panoramic mountain views stretching as far as the eye can see. After taking in the surroundings, enjoy a delicious lunch in the fresh mountain air before making your way back down to Imlil.
There’s time to explore the town, visit the Imlil waterfall, and soak in the peaceful atmosphere before heading back to Marrakech.
The day ends with a taste of traditional Moroccan cuisine—warm, hearty soup like Harira or Bissara—before the return transfer.
Pick-up and drop-off from your accommodation in Marrakech is included in your booking.
