Full description

This is the two-day version of the village route we already run over four days for families. It exists for the traveller who has one spare night in Morocco, wants to sleep in the mountains rather than drive back to Marrakech, and is not trying to climb anything.

Day one drives up to Imlil, then walks over the Tamatert pass into the next valley, through walnut orchards and terraced hamlets, to a family-run Berber gite for dinner and the night. Day two walks back down through the villages at a slower pace, with lunch on the trail before the drive to Marrakech.

A licensed mountain guide walks with you, mules carry the main bags, and a cook travels with the group, so the meals on the trail are hot Moroccan food. The walking is on graded mule paths, three to five hours a day.
