The Experience

Setting off from Imlil (1,700m), our journey begins with a gentle climb to Tamatert village. As we ascend through fragrant pine and juniper woodlands, the landscape transforms, offering increasingly spectacular views of the Imlil valley. At Tidily (2,200m), we'll pause to appreciate the magnificent panorama before continuing our ascent to the ISK summit (2,500m).

Here, surrounded by North Africa's most impressive peaks including the majestic Mount Toubkal, we'll enjoy a well-earned picnic lunch while soaking in the awe-inspiring 360-degree views. The patchwork of traditional Berber villages dotting the valleys below creates a scene that perfectly captures the timeless beauty of Morocco's mountain culture.

Our descent follows a different route, crossing the serene Tidily Plateau before continuing to Armed village (1,900m). The final leg of our journey takes us through Achain village and past a refreshing waterfall before returning to Imlil, completing a truly unforgettable Atlas Mountain experience.
