Day 1: Arrive Marrakech
Arrival and transfer to your hotel
Day 2: Transfer to Aït Bou Guemez Valley
Departure from Marrakesh through the road to Demnate. We will have a lunch break at the small village of Imi N'ifri with a short walk to the famous natural bridge of the village which has been classified as a site of biological and ecological interest. We then continue to the village Iwariden before crossing the valley of Ait Boulli and arriving in Ait Bougmez. Overnight in a simple Gite
Day 3: Trek from Ait Bou Guemez Valley to Azib n’Ikkis
We begin our trek by leaving behind the beautiful and fertile Aït Bou Guemez Valley (1850m) known to the French as “The Happy Valley”. Climb gently through the narrowing Arous Valley, passing through the village of Aït Sayd, to reach the pastures of Azib n’Ikkis (2200m). Lovely views of Ighil Mgoun already lie ahead. We either camp on the pastures or spend the night in a local gite, depending upon the season.
Day 4: Trek from
Azib n’Ikkis to Tarkeddid Plateau
We climb steeply to cross two passes in quick succession, Tizi n’Oumskiyq (2909m) and Aghouri Est (3400m), both of which offer wonderful, far-reaching views, before descending to the vast expanse of the Tarkeddid Plateau (2900m), at the foot of Ighil Mgoun. We spend the night either camping on the plateau or sleeping in the refuge, depending on the season.
Day 5: Optional ascent of Ighil Mgoun
Those wishing to undertake the optional ascent of the summit of Ighil Mgoun (Ighil n’Oumsoud, 4068m), will make an early, pre-dawn departure from the plateau. The climb itself is demanding but the views all round and towards the Sahara are quite amazing and absolutely worth the effort. We descend back onto the Tarkeddid Plateau for a second night. Anyone not climbing can remain at camp or do a short walk.
Day 6: Trek from Tarkeddid Plateau to Tasgaiwalt
We head westwards across the plateau and climb over a small pass, Tizi Asdim (3216m), at its far end, descending into the beautiful Tessaout Valley. We camp at the village of Tasgaiwalt (2325m) near the head of the valley, or sleep in a nearby gite, 
depending on the season.
Day 7: Walk from Tasgaiwalt to Ait ‘Ali n’Ito
We follow the course of the river, passing a succession of traditional villages, including Amezri, Talat n’Tazart, Ait Hamza and Ichbbakane, to reach our overnight halt at Ait ‘Ali n’Ito (1825m). We either camp or spend the night in a local gite, depending on the season.
Day 8: Walk from Ait Ali n’Ito to Tagoukht
Leaving the Tessaout Valley, we head south to the impressively located village of Megdaz (1961m), formerly the home of the Berber poetess Mririda n’Ayt Attiq, and considered by many to be the most beautiful village throughout the entire High Atlas Mountains. We cross the Tizi Awrghiz (2454m) to reach Tagoukht (2018m) where we spend the night in tents, or in a local house, depending on the season.
Day 9: Walk from Tagoukht to Lake Tamda (Tamda n’Ounghamar)
We cross two more passes, Tizi n’Fedghat (2191m) and Tizi n’Tghaghayt (2838m) to reach the spectacularly located Lake Tamda. We spend the night in tents in a rather romantic setting near the lakeside.
DAY 10: Optional ascent of Jebel Anghomar and walk from Lake Tamda to Tighza
Today begins with an optional ascent of Jebel Anghomar (3609m). Those not doing the early ascent will remain at camp. We then follow the Ounila Stream down to the village of Tighza (1980m). Transfer back to Marrakech.
