How to choose
Which mountain trip is right for you?
An easy first day: Ourika Valley or Imlil
The Ourika Valley is about 1h15 from Marrakech: you follow the river past Berber villages to Setti Fatma, where a short climb leads to a series of cascades. Imlil, about 1h30 away at the foot of Mount Toubkal, is the place for a walk through terraced fields and villages with a local mountain guide.
Higher and cooler: Oukaimeden
About 80 km from Marrakech, Oukaimeden is an open plateau between roughly 2,600 and 3,200 metres. It is Morocco’s main ski area in winter when snow allows, and a cool place for walks the rest of the year.
Waterfalls: Ouzoud
The Ouzoud falls, around 110 metres high in a green gorge about three hours from Marrakech, make a longer day with many steps down to the pools.
Two or three days
The 3-day trek from Imlil crosses valleys and passes below Toubkal, with nights in village guesthouses and a mule to carry the bags. The 2-day tour combines a walk among Berber villages near Imlil with a night in the Agafay desert.
Good to know
Temperatures drop with altitude, so bring a warm layer outside summer, and wear comfortable shoes: some paths are steep and uneven.
