This 6 day trek takes you to 3 Berber valleys each with a different landscape, flora and fauna. It also takes you through many of the mountain villages. The ultimate icing on the cake is the Toubkal summit trek on the second to last day. You will be well and truly fit by then and de-stressed form your daily routine. These mountains in the High Atlas are full of panoramic surprises as you trek between the valleys and meet the friendly, warm locals. You can get a sense of the community spirit here too and perhaps enjoy some local music or witness a wedding. Whatever you see or feel, you will remember for a long time to come. On the last day you can choose to stay the night in Aremd, Imlil or be driven to Marrakech. If you are continuing your tour with a trip to the Sahara then we will advise the itinerary.
