Guided days in the Imlil valley below Mount Toubkal, an Atlas hike-and-zipline combination, and Ouzoud Falls. All include pick-up from your Marrakech accommodation.
Imlil, the gateway village below Mount Toubkal, is around a 90-minute drive from Marrakech. Ouzoud Falls is further — roughly 2.5 to 3 hours each way — so both work comfortably as day trips.
Basic walking fitness is enough. The hike-and-zipline day involves about an hour’s walk to Aroumd, and Ouzoud Falls includes steps down to the waterfalls and back up.
Return transport from Marrakech, a local guide, and activities listed on each trip page — for example the zipline session and a Berber family lunch on the Atlas adventure day.
Yes — a day walking around Imlil or the Atlas foothills is a gentle way to test your legs and get a feel for the terrain and altitude before committing to a summit trek.
