Gateway to Mount Toubkal

Imlil & the High Atlas

Nestled at 1,740 m altitude, Imlil is the ideal starting point to discover Berber villages and the peaks of the High Atlas, including Toubkal, the highest summit in North Africa.

Berber village of Imlil in the High Atlas
Overview

At the heart of the Berber mountains

About 1.5 hours' drive from Marrakech, Imlil is a mountain village surrounded by orchards and peaks that stay snow-capped for part of the year. It is the gateway to Toubkal National Park.

Our excursions favor genuine encounters: visits to authentic Berber villages, guided walks with local mountain guides, and a traditional lunch with a local family or on a panoramic terrace.
