A perfect day to head into the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains! Gorgeous snow capped views along the route.We navigate the mountain roads — above the Ait Mizane Valley — to the village of Imlil.We find a rooftop cafe in Imlil for some coffee before beginning our hike up to the snowy High Atlas Mountains.We trek – climbing the cascading waterfalls for about an hour to the traditional Amazigh (Berber) village of Aroumd — on a tourist office postcard perfect day. (this is our photo!)A herder follows his sheep to the valley floor through Aroumd, with Mount Toubkal presiding — North Africa’s highest peak at 4,167 m (13,671 ft).A panoramic photo of Mount Toubkal. That is ‘panoramic’ indeed! The local children have rounded up some downhill skis and found an area to have snow-play fun in the high altitude sunshine.We caught up with the sheep grazing peacefully on a freshly watered green meadow.Enjoying the sunshine on the last day of 2025……And appreciating we’ve explored another corner of the world near Toubkal National Park.We found a great spot for having a picnic lunch and savored the view — near Aroumd with majestic Mount Toubkal as a backdrop.Back at our condo’s balcony in Marrakech with its view of the snow capped range — we will remember our fabulous journey to the High Atlas Mountains!
