Lalla Takerkoust, Kik Plateau and Imlil from Marrakech

  • Leave Marrakech behind and follow the tarred road through small villages scattered across the plain.

  • Soon afterwards, arrive on the shores of Lalla Takerkoust Lake, where a short break is recommended to take in the panorama before starting the ascent towards the deserted Kik Plateau.

  • Continue to Asni, where an important Berber souk is held every Saturday, and local producers bring fruit, vegetables, and livestock to sell.

  • Drive on to Imlil. In Imlil, start walking with the guide to Aremd village (1,900 meters). On the way, see traditional Berber villages and Jbel Toubkal (4,167 meters), the highest peak in North Africa.

  • After about 1 to 1.5 hours, head to a local guesthouse for a wonderful lunch and enjoy the beautiful view of the Mizane Valley.

  • After lunch, take a 30-minute walk back to Imlil before transferring back to Marrakech.

Guide and lunch can be paid for locally.
