Modernity isn't a big thing in the mountains south of Marrakech, where Berber culture is strong, and tourism mainly confined to trekkers. Two specific draws are the snaking road south to Taroudannt; and Imlil, Asni and Aremd, the Berber villages en route to the highest peak, the Djebel Toubkal. But sights aren't what the High Atlas is about – it's the views. Almond blossom at Ouirgane; winter snow at Ouïkaimeden; wild nature and traditional villages all year round.
Do as Marrakeshi families do and pay a visit to the shrine of Moulay Brahim, where there's a festive bank-holiday atmosphere between June and September.

A magical walled complex near Asni in the High Atlas, Kasbah Tamadot is all peaceful courtyards, intriguing staircases, landscaped gardens and breathtaking views.
Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.
August A four-day moussem in Setti Fatma is a reasonably accessible traditional fair, in a village famous for its seven waterfalls.
You can lunch more than handsomely at this luxury mountain lair of Richard Branson's.
