Itinerary
-
Day 1: Imlil - Tachediret
Leave Marrakech after breakfast and drive to Imlil (1740m) via the bustling market town of Asni. Imlil is the principal trailhead for trekkers in the Toubkal Region.
Meet your mule team and, once all your gear is loaded, you begin walking through a side valley that heads eastwards towards Tacheddirt, some 8 km away.
At first, the trail rises as you climb up to the pass of Tizi n’Tamatert (2279m), after which you descend on the far side to the pretty village of Ouaneskra (2200m) in the Imenane Valley.
Continue gently upriver for a further half-hour or so to Tacheddirt (2300m), where you set up camp near the riverside. 1.5 hours transfer and 5 hours walking, approximately.
-
Day 2: Tacheddirt - Timichi
Climb steeply out of Tacheddirt up to Tizi n’Tacheddirt (3172m) gaining lovely views back to the Imenane Valley.
From the pass, you descend through the village of Iabbassene to reach Timichchi (2000m) near the head of the Ourika Valley. Here, you spend the night in a Berber gîte. 7 hours walking, approximately.
-
Day 3: Ourika Valley to Marrakech
Enjoy a gentle walk from Timichchi to Setti Fadma (1700m). Along the way, you pass through a string of Berber villages that line the banks of the Ourika Valley: first Tiourdiou, then Anfli and afterwards Tadrart.
After lunch, continue via Agadir n’Aït Boulmane and on to the centre of Setti Fadma. If there is enough time, you will visit a charming waterfall above Setti Fadma before returning to Marrakech. 4 to 5 hours of walking and 1.5 hours transfer.
