Atlas Mountains & 3 Valleys Day Trip

Embark on a captivating full-day journey from Marrakesh to High Atlas Mountains and three valleys, venturing through the stunning Ourika Valley, Oukaimeden Valley, and Asni Valley. This tour takes you along winding roads, deep into the heart of remote Berber villages where time seems to have stood still. Although Berber culture may seem distant and mysterious to many, this visit provides a rare opportunity to engage with Moroccan locals in their own communities, allowing you to discover their rich traditions, unique culture, and simple yet fulfilling lifestyle.

Your day trip from Marrakech to High Atlas Mountains and 3 valleys begins with a pick-up from your hotel at 9 a.m., leaving behind the hustle and bustle of the city as you head towards the majestic High Atlas Mountains. The Moroccan countryside opens up before you, offering spectacular views as you make your way to the Ourika Valley, known for its lush greenery and serene atmosphere. Along the way, you’ll pass numerous traditional Adobe Berber villages, where life continues as it has for generations. You’ll have the chance to visit one of these villages and gain insight into the daily life of its inhabitants.

Once you arrive in Ourika Valley, your guide will lead you on a memorable hike to the valley’s famous seven waterfalls. The trek offers both beautiful views and a refreshing experience as you immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the area. Afterward, you’ll continue your journey through the Oukaimeden Valley, taking a scenic and less traveled mountain road that winds through more Berber villages built of adobe and stone, each village offering a glimpse into a way of life that’s deeply connected to the land.

As you reach the Sidi Fares Valley, you’ll descend into the famous Asni Valley, renowned for its lush apple, almond, and walnut orchards. The valley is also home to incredible views of the highest peak in Morocco and North Africa: Mount Toubkal. For lunch, you’ll stop at a traditional Berber house where you can indulge in a delicious, homemade Berber tagine or vegetable couscous, offering an authentic taste of Moroccan cuisine.

After this incredible day, you will head back to Marrakesh at approximately 5:00 p.m., taking in one last glimpse of the breathtaking High Atlas Mountains and leaving with lifelong memories.
