About this tour

Tizi Mzik is the pass that links Imlil with the Azzaden Valley on the western side of the Toubkal massif. The trail switchbacks up the southern flank of the valley through juniper and scrub, gaining height steadily until the cairn at the col.

From the top the whole Azzaden opens below you – terraces, the river and the village of Tizi Oussem far down on the valley floor. After a rest and a picnic you return the same way. About 12 km return, 714 m of ascent and roughly 6 hours of walking.

Highlights

  • Reach the Tizi Mzik col at 2,489 m
  • Sweeping views into the Azzaden Valley
  • Quieter than the main Toubkal trail
  • A great Atlas trek without a Toubkal summit
  • Option to continue to the Azzaden overnight

What's included

  • Private licensed mountain guide
  • Packed picnic lunch
  • Water and mint tea
  • Safety briefing and first aid
  • Transfer Marrakech – Imlil (available on request)
  • Tips (optional)

Frequently asked questions

Is the pass snowbound in winter?

It usually holds snow from December to April and may need crampons. May to October it is normally clear.

Can I continue into the Azzaden?

Yes – see our 2-day Azzaden Valley trek, which crosses Tizi Mzik and returns over a second pass.

Is it suitable for beginners?

Fit beginners can do it, but it is a sustained climb – regular walking beforehand helps.
