This Imlil day hike is the easiest way to see the High Atlas from Marrakech. Only 1.5 hours from the city, Imlil sits at the foot of Mount Toubkal. You walk on mule paths between terraced fields and Berber villages, cross the Tizi n'Tamatert pass (2,279 m) for wide mountain views, and share a homemade tagine with a local family. No experience is needed, and the walk can be adapted to children. Want more? Climb the summit on our Toubkal trek 2 days.
