Mooie trip in een prachtig landschap en een bijzondere ervaring in de dorpen. Prima georganiseerd met een zeer aangename gids Mohammed. Met vriendelijke groeten aan de assistente van Ahmed.

We booked the 3 days trek. The first two days we hiked to the neighboring valley which was amazing. The landscapes were beautiful and our guide Mohammed was happy to share his knowledge. On the evening of the second day we returned to imlil and the third day consisted of the visit of the waterfall (very touristy). The hikes are quite short with lots of breaks (total distance 33km and total elevation gain 1650m) There were no mules so you will have to carry your own luggage. This seemed to apply to all clients. The food was generally really good except the first lunch which was disgusting. For lunch they charged 70 dirhams per person. We really enjoyed the first two days of the trek but overall felt a bit cheated.

Le trek était carrément topissime ! Notre guide Abdul (Abde Bniydr) a vraiment été génial, on a pu choisir notre itinéraire en fonction de ce que l'on voulait faire, il nous a offert une réelle immersion dans le monde berbère et était très attentionné avec nous (il nous a même convié chez lui pour boire le thé). Les paysages sont sublimes et colorés, entre montagnes blanches, terre rouge, rivières bleues et cultures vertes : Magnifique !

Ich habe diesen kurzen Trip in die Berge sehr genossen. Ich war alleine mit meinem Führer Omar unterwegs, sehr privat also. Sehr schöne Landschaften, interessante Gespräche und ziemlich viel Wandern (wobei ich noch mehr bevorzugen würde). Der einzige Kritikpunkt ist, dass man in ein sehr touristisches Restaurant in Imlil für das Mittagessen geführt wird und erst später zum Bezahlen aufgefordert wird. Ich hätte mir hier bessere Absprache gewünscht bzw. mehr Lokales als Touristisches. Ansonsten - Top!

Es war fast alles anders als in der Beschreibung. Wir mussten einen ganzen Tag inkl. Übernachtung in Imlil warten bis wir loswanderten. Wir folgten weder der angegebenen Route, noch hatten wir ein Maultier. Da war kein Hamam, kein Besuch bei einer Berberfamilie und am Schluss wurden wir nicht mehr beim Hotel abgesetzt sondern irgendwo in der Altstadt und mussten noch ein Taxi nehmen. Es lag nicht am Guide, dieser war freundlich und kompetent, die Organisation war einfach nicht gut.

Expérience inoubliable grâce à l'accueil de ses habitants et la beauté des paysages . Nous avons été reçus chaleureusement par les villageois et les hôtes. Le parcours au travers des villages berberes est très bien pensé. L'immersion est totale et la découverte des traditions berberes très enrichissante . La nourriture est excellente, les chambres sobres mais propres. Nous avons pu choisir la difficulté des randonnees grâce au guide Mohamed qui s'est montré très attentif à notre sécurité et bien organisé dans le déroulement du programme. Cependant nous sommes restés un peu frustrés par son attitude quelque peu distante et froide par rapport à nous. . Nous attendions un peu plus de chaleur et d'echanges, à l'image de tous les gens du pays . Donc petits progrès à faire de ce côté là ! Pour les recommandations, ne pas oublier de se couvrir très chaudement et s'équiper de chaussures et vêtements de montagne. Il peut faire très froid . Nous avons eu de la neige. Le terme de "3 vallées "n'est pas approprié puisque nous n'en avons fait que 2 : Imlil et Imlane . Ou se trouve la 3eme ? Nous avons eu beaucoup de difficultés à contacter l'agence organisatrice, la veille du départ. Le numéro de téléphone ne répondait pas et la veille au soir, nous ne connaissions toujours pas le lieu du RDV . Malgré ces difficultés, nous avons passé 3 jours de rêve et recommandons ce circuit.

Superbe trek, paysages et aventure humaine. Les berbères ont vraiment le sens de l'accueil, je recommande Mohamed mon guide, en effet il venait de neiger et je n'ai pas voulu m'aventurer car j'avais un souci au genou alors il m'a proposé un autre circuit. Je reviendrai...

Booked a last minute 3-day Atlas Mountains trek not knowing what to expect. Ended up being my most memorable activity in Morocco! My 3-day trek had a mix of 2-and-3 day tours. We were a small group of 7 and then 3 for the final 24 hours. Our guide Marwan was wonderful: attentive, considerate, accommodating to everyone's different pace and friendly. He led us on a 50 km hike up and over mountain passes. Mohammed was our group's talented cook who would hike in front with the mule and our bags and have a fresh, warm meal awaiting us. I can't describe how lovely it was to drink hot mint tea and eat warm, healthy tagine in the middle of a gorgeous mountain range! Very basic accommodation, but there was hot water in both locations. Wear comfortable hiking shoes and bring warm layers as it's very cold at night (you are provided plenty of blankets!). If you enjoy hiking, want to see the wonders of the Atlas range and are craving a break from the hustle and bustle of Morocco's main cities - HIGHLY recommend this tour. And try to get in Marwan's group :)

Omar est un très bon guide. Il connait très bien sa région et les habitants. Très joyeux, il vous fera passer un bon moment entre histoires et découvertes de la culture berbère et sens de l'humour. Il a rendu le séjour très agréable. Il parle bien français et anglais. En outre, la région est réellement superbe et la nourriture délicieuse. Omar is a very good guide. He knows his region and the inhabitants very well. Very cheerful, he will make you spend a good time between stories and discoveries of the Berber culture and sense of humour. He made the stay very pleasant. He speaks well both english and french. Moreover, the region is really beautiful and the food delicious.

This trip is not at all as advertised. While the guides are great, the company is deceitful and poorly organized. Though we enjoyed our trip with our guide, IT IS NOT A THREE DAY/TWO NIGHT TREK. there are no donkeys. You must buy your own water. The company neglects to communicate with you. We expected to go on a three day, two night trek through multiple valleys as advertised. This is what happened instead: In advance of the trip we were given no information on pick-up time/location nor what to pack. When we finally located our shuttle, we were taken on the same itinerary as two people there for a single day tour, then left to our own devices in imlil by 3pm after being shown a guest house and told to pay 70 dirham for lunch. We tried to contact the company multiple times about the confusion and received no response. ???? The next day we did half of the itinerary (no donkey, water not included) and spent the night in a guest house, then returned to imlil on the third day by a different trail. Overall, the guides were great. But if you choose to book with this company, I recommend contacting them early and often to ensure they actually deliver what they promise.
