Start your day with an early morning departure from Marrakech, embarking on a pleasant drive towards the southern region.

As we wind our way up through the scenic Moulay Brahim Gorge and upper valleys, the majestic peaks of the Western High Atlas Mountains come into view.

Our trailhead begins at Imi Oughlad (1450m), where we meet our experienced Berber muleteer crew. We set off on a northwest direction, ascending along switchback mule tracks for approximately 2 hours, passing through cornfields, pine forests, and juniper trees. The trail leads us to the Tizi n'Tachete pass (2000m), offering panoramic views of the Imlikl and Ait Oussaden valleys. After a short break, we continue our hike for another half hour to reach Imi n'Ifri, where we enjoy a field picnic surrounded by natural beauty.

We embark on a leisurely 2.5-hour hike southwest, following a dirt track that takes us along the Assif n'Ait Oussaden river to the terraced village of Tiziane (1750m). Here, we settle into our comfortable accommodations in a bivouac or gite, ready to rest and rejuvenate for the next day's adventure.
