Nestled in the heart of the central High Atlas Mountains, to the east of Marrakech, lies the breathtaking Ait Bougmez Valley. Often referred to as the “Happy Valley,” it boasts unspoiled natural beauty, frequently likened to the grandeur of the Himalayas. This enchanting region features a landscape filled with verdant orchards, flourishing pastures, and dramatic snow-capped mountain peaks. It’s a refreshing departure from the more arid and desert-like images commonly associated with Morocco.

As you wander through the valley, you’ll encounter charming small villages, where traditional mud-brick houses are scattered across the lush terrain, adding to its picturesque ambiance. Spend your day immersed in the scenic wonders of Ait Bougmez, discovering its customs and rural lifestyle, especially in the traditional village of Imelghas.

This tranquil haven offers an authentic escape into Moroccan mountain life, providing a serene atmosphere and genuine cultural encounters.
