Day 1 : Marrakech – Tassa Ouirgane – Tizi Oussem – Tamsoulte
The driver will pick you up, early in the morning, from your hotel in Marrakech, direction Atlas Mountains.
From the first moments of your excursion, you will be impressed by the extreme beauty of the landscapes all along the road from Marrakech to Tahnaout.
We will go across the charming small village of Asni on the riverside, situated very close to the famous berber mausoleum of Moulay Brahim.
We will continue our trip to Ouirgane, one of the most splendid mountain valleys around Marrakech. From this point, we make a detour to a small berber village called ‘Douar Tassa Ouirgane’ where we will have a short stop to take breakfast in a local guest house.
We will join a local mountain guide de start our Trekking Adventure from Douar Tassa to the high Atlas Mountain, passing through many hidden valleys and little-known places such as Azzaden Valley, Tizi Oussem and Tamsoulte.
We will have a picnic lunch on our way, before arriving to the sumptuous Ighouliden waterfalls. Here we will have dinner and spend our first night in a very authentic berber guest house.

On this second day, we will have a harder hike from Tamsoulte to the legendary Refuge of Toubkal (3207 meters high) through popular mountain paths. We will have a picnic lunch on the road and we will spend the second night in standard local hostel or in bivouac (depending on your preferences).
