Amizmiz Area

Just under an hour’s drive west of Marrakech in the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains, this is an attractive and peaceful region, being less well known to trekkers than Imlil, Ourika or Ouirgane. En route you’ll see the Lalla Takerkoust lake.  Every Tuesday a Berber souk (market), reputed to be the best in the region, takes place in the small town of Amizmiz.
