Hiking through the High Atlas Mountains is a must for nature lovers visiting Morocco. Whether you’re based in Marrakech or staying in the quiet mountain town of Imlil, you’ll find Toubkal National Park to be a perfect starting point for day hikes filled with natural beauty and cultural insight. One scenic route leads to la Kasbah du Toubkal, a stunning lookout offering panoramic views of valleys, pastures, and towering peaks.

The hike begins in Imlil and follows a moderately challenging path through winding trails beside streams and forested hills. Midway through, enjoy a break beside the peaceful creeks in Imlil Valley for a relaxing outdoor lunch surrounded by nature.

The route continues through the Aït Mizane Valley, where the landscape shifts into dramatic cliffs and open fields. A visit to the town of Aroumd offers a chance to observe traditional Berber life and connect with the culture of the mountains. Before heading back to Imlil, take in the beauty of the region and gain a deeper appreciation for Morocco’s rugged highlands.
