Imlil to Setti Fadma Trek – 3 Days
The Imlil to Setti Fadma Trek will take you from the village of Imlil, at the foot of Mount Toubkal, through a string of Berber villages and through the Valley of Ourika to Setti Fadma.
Overview
During this trek you will discover the high peaks of the Atlas Mountains that surround the valley. Each day will provide you with different views of the High Atlas Mountains and different challenges in terms of the varying levels of altitude you trek through.
