Valley of Asni
At more than one hour from Marrakech, the Valley of Asni stands against the whiteness of the highest peak of the Atlas. It deploys the beauty and the purity of a nature still with a big untouched part and offers a good peace for the mind after the tumult of the red city.
To attain this place, we will cross some wonderful views that have an infinite nuance. We will imagine the comfort of our vehicle, the life style that the citizens had in the past not so far. The military roads, the Douars at a flank of Collins or the shepherds leading their sheep are a call to the constant reality of time. The arrival to Asni tend to stop this contemplation. This village does not represent any particular interest but it marks the moment of choice between continuing straight towards Marigha, Ouirgane and Tizi n’Test or turn to Imlil and the Jbel Toubkal, the culminant point of the Atlas.
Imlil and Toubkal Mountain
The charming small village of the mountain of Imlil is an obliging passage point for all the adventurers who hope to take the 4167 m of the mountain Toubkal. Situated at 64 Km from Marrakech, it is also an entrance gate to the superb National park of Toubkal. Created in 1942 and covering a superficial of 38 000 ha, this park offers the possibility of having superb climbs. Through time, the plateaux and the cliffs alternate with the gorges, and the cypress succeed in an extraordinary explosion of nuances and of scent.

The attraction exercised by Toubkal is all the same in the heart of the life in Imlil. It gains a lot from the economic activity of the village and generates numerous initiatives. We find accredited mountain guides there or muleteers that can take charge of your materiel, of the bivouac and of your bag. Those people are experimented and are in a good physical condition can help in the climb Toubkal and to descend on Imlil in two days without any problem. The ideal period to do it is between June and September.
