Day 1 : Imlil – Tizi Ntamatere – Wanskra – Tachdirth From imlil, we set out along a piste for a 1 hour and 45 minutes hike towards the east up to the tizi n’tamaterte (2279m) and on through fields of barley and orchards of walnuts , apple and cherry trees until we reach the village of Tamaterte. Once through the village we shall take a path which leads us up though pine and juniper woods. We stop at the tizi to admire the Imlil and Imnane valleys , this latter with its many berber villages tucked precariously onto the slopes stretching around us. We carry on along the upper valley slopes for another hour or so to the villages of first Wanskra and then Amagdoul, set amidst terraced plots of land carved from the hard slopes. We shall stop here for our field picnic on the plateau, used, in summer, as a favoured bivouac site. Our afternoon will be spent hiking for some 2 hours up through the valley along the mule trails until we reach the pretty and the oldest berber village in the toubkal massif ( tachdirth 2291m), set amongst terraced plots clawed from the surrounding craggy slopes, where we will overnight in a gite d’etape .

The beginning of the luscious nature of beautiful Verdant valley streching out way below us. We shall traverse the pass and continue on down through the rocks north-eastwards for a further 2 hours untill we reach the berber village of Iaabbassen (2030m), where we will stop for our welcome field picnic next to spring just outside of the village.
