Landing at Marrakech airport (even more relevant if at Agadir!) and welcome by a shuttle chartered by the riad. Accommodation in the medina in a 3* riad and half board. Depending on your arrival time, immerse yourself at your leisure in the alleys or even the souks of the famous imperial city.

Private transport takes you along one of the various possible routes to the High Atlas. One of them would allow you to discover the potters of Tameslohte, the mineral desert of Agafay and the lake of Lalla Takerkoust, otherwise simply take the N7 via Asni. Half-board accommodation at the Berber inn Tigmi n'Tamazirte, from where you can visit the potters of your host Houssein's family.

Your driver takes you over the peaks of the Western High Atlas via the Tizi n'Test pass and its many hairpin bends. The landscapes are grandiose. After a long descent to the Souss Valley, discover the medina of Taroudant and possibly tour the ramparts in a horse-drawn carriage. There is still an hour's mountain drive to the Berber village of Afensou, absolutely outside the tourist area! Half-board accommodation in a traditional, rustic but comfortable guest house at the Terrasses de l'Atlas at Luc and Hafida's.

The program remains adaptable to measure, we offer you a bucolic walk to the small gorge of Tamdousnous to discover the Berber mountain life and enjoy the beauty of nature. In the afternoon, Hafida offers you some typical workshops: making bread cakes, cooking classes, preparation of argan oil or amlou (the Berber Nutella!). Same accommodation with full board.

Depending on your desires and your physical condition, a guided day hike with a picnic is offered to you to explore the nearby mid-altitude peaks and enjoy the grandiose panoramas of the Atlas. Same accommodation with full board.

Take sometimes vertiginous trails to meet the shepherds and modest farmers of the high-altitude villages. Possibility to continue on foot to waterfalls. A traditional hammam will perk you up at the end of the day, as well as an excellent tasting meal. Same accommodation with full board.

A private taxi will take you back to Marrakech in the morning where you will still have the afternoon to discover one or the other monument or to indulge in shopping (in moderation!). Night in half board in the same riad as the first evening.
Transfer to the airport.
