Day 1: Marrakech - Asni - Imioughlad - Tacht Pass - Tiziane (1,950m)

We start at 8am in the village of Imioughlad to meet the muleteers, put on sunscreen and fill the gourd with water (there is no access to water in the first two hours of walking). Passing through the village of Imioughlad, the climb is gentle towards the Tacht Pass (2,000m). We stop to see the village. The path crosses a forest of red juniper and holm oaks. After a descent and lunch, which takes about an hour, we arrive at the village of Tiziane located in a beautiful valley. We spend the night at the homestay. Duration: 1.5-hour drive; 5 hours of walking.

Day 2: Tiziane (1,950m) - Col Téouti (2,400m) - Tkent (2,150m)

At the next step, with significant elevation, we discover a beautiful landscape. We prepare to climb in the shade of the nut trees, then the sun comes to greet us upon arrival at the pass. At the Tiziane fold, it is always better to purify the water taken at the springs or in the rivers before drinking it. We cross a forest of thuriferous junipers before reaching the Teouti pass at 2,400m. We then descend to Assaka where we have lunch. Then we continue to Tizgui, a special village with a beautiful structure. We spend the night at the homestay. Duration: 5.5 hours of walking.

Day 3: Tkent (2,150m) - Tougdalt Pass (2,700m) - Tizi Oussem (1,950m)

The third stage takes place in the most beautiful and wild landscape of Toubkal. We start at 7am and have breakfast around 7:30am. Departure is at around 8am, under a blurred sun in a ravine at the foot of a 3,600m summit, to the plain of Tazaghart. During the 2.5 hour climb through an easy path, we meet herds and Berber shepherds. From the Tougdalt pass, we have the exceptional view of the surrounding peaks and juniper forest. We have lunch in the shadow of the gigantic nut tree on the banks of the river Azaden. We then find the valley of Toubkal and get to enjoy the beautiful landscapes while enjoying our meal, In the afternoon, we continue to the village Tizi Oussem (2,250m). We spend the night at the homestay. Duration: 5.5 hour walk.

Day 4: Tizi Oussem - Mzik Pass - Imlil - Marrakech

The last step is to leave the valley and the villages to gain altitude. We follow a beautiful path near Toubkal with several views of the valley of Azzaden. After 2.5 hours of walking, we reach the Mzik pass at 2,450m altitude. We then descend to the valley of Imlil and its landscapes in the middle of the orchards. We have lunch on the terrace under the big walnut trees before transferring to Marrakech. Duration: 5 hours of walking; almost 2-hour drive.
