“HOW MANY MOUNTAIN REFUGES in the Alps offer rose water to sprinkle on your hands and face after a hard day’s hike? If that and other traditional Berber touches sound tempting, then look no further than the Kasbah du Toubkal’s four-bedroom High Atlas Mountains trekking lodge.”
TIME Magazine
The Azzaden Trekking Lodge, operated by Kasbah du Toubkal, is perched on a hillside in the village of Aït Aïssa (1820 metres) and is reached by trekking from the village of Imlil in the neighbouring Ait Mizane Valley, or from Ouirgane lower down the valley. You can see the lodge at the top right of the main picture.
The Azzaden valley is truly spectacular and very traditional. The lodge is comfortable, with an open fire, four en-suite bedrooms and excellent local cuisine. The lodge allows you to stay right in the heart of the spectacular Atlas Mountain without having to compromise on accommodation. Its architectural style is such that it complements the environment of the surrounding villages which welcomes its presence in their valley.

“ We were a bit anxious to do the hike from Kasbah de Toubkal to the lodge. 1635 meters up and down during a two day hike is a lot more than we’ve done before.
“We’re happy we took the challenge, as the hike was very good, the service was impeccable and the lodge was as good as the Kasbah in our opinion.
“The lodge rooms are similar to the Kasbah rooms, but with the added bonus of heated bathroom floors. Very, very comfortable.
“The dinner was better in our opinion compared to the Kasbah proper, as odd as it might seem. Do remember to bring your own wine as both the Kasbah and the lodge are strictly BYOB. And since you're not paying restaurant mark-up you might as well bring the best bottle you can afford. Nothing better after a good hike than a bottle of good Amarone.”

“ This was our favourite place to stay on our three day trek in the Atlas. We walked from Ouirigane through the beautiful Azzaden Valley on our way to Imlil. We climbed from the valley bottom to the lodge at the top of the village and were greeted by our host, Mohamed who gave us leather slippers, dates and milk and washed our hands with orange blossom. Our rooms were warm and cozy with beautiful views over the valley. We had a delicious dinner in the lovely lounge where the log stove kept us warm. The view from the balcony was amazing and after dark the stars came out in their millions. Breakfast was a vey generous spread which set us up nicely for the walk over the mountain into Imlil. This place has left great memories that will stay with us.”
