The Day trip from Marrakech to Imlil departs by car from Marrakech around 9am. The drive takes about 1h30 and goes south up the Moulay Brahim Gorges, then Asni weekly market every Saturday then to Imlil.
Imlil is (1740m) set in the upper level foothills of the Western High Atlas mountains, a main trail-head with streams and paths branching out in all directions
Here we shall leave our vehicle to take a welcome glass of mint tea in the village and we set out for some 4km (3 hours) walk. We will go travel south to the Berber village of Aroumd (1920m), passing the hamlets of ait souka, Targa, and Imoula, up and down the stark slopes, the jagged Western High Atlas peaks of the Toubkal Massif before us – Jbels Aguelzim (3547m), Aksouâl (3847m) and the Adrar Adj (3122m) watching us all the way.
We shall stop at Aroumd to visit this rather singular village in the Assif Aït Mizane Valley, built seemingly house upon house on a large moraine spur, overlooking ancient irrigated terraced fields of barley, corn and vegetables and always surrounded by almond and walnut trees. We thence carry on for another Hour to get to our lunch wich will be served among a berber familly in the village of Achain prior to setting off back down the other side of the valley back to Imlil and our return trip to Marrakech.
