Easily accessible by car, Dar Assarou is nestled between apple orchards in the Imlil Valley in the heart of Toubkal National Park. At 1,700m above sea level the cool air of the High Atlas mountains offers a respite from the stifling summer heat of Marrakech. In winter, deep blue skies frame the mountains that surround Dar Assarou. At the lodge, dreamy 360 degree views can be enjoyed from the roof terrace, including the best view of all - Jebel Toubkal - North Africa's highest peak. Night time is also special, on a cloud-free evening, stargazing at the lodge can be a magical experience.

One of only a handful of licenced and authorised first category accommodations in Imlil, Dar Assarou is a trusted base and trek centre for discerning walkers and trekkers from around the world. Professionally guided group and private treks can be arranged by the lodge to all regions of the High Atlas. For many, climbing Mount Toubkal is the objective. For others, spending a few days at Dar Assarou provides a chance to escape and relax. Several day walks to nearby Berber villages and valleys are possible. Here families can enjoy quality time, exploring on foot or by mule, returning to a delicious home-cooked Berber meal.

The Toubkal family apartment includes the Toubkal suite & two adjacent twin or double superior rooms. Sleeps up to 9 people. The Toubkal apartment rooms are the best rooms in Dar Assarou. Spanning the width of the lodge it offers 3 double or twin bedrooms plus kitchenette and luxurious salon with views of apple orchards and Mount Toubkal.

At Dar Assarou there is a choice of locations for dining. In wintertime meals are usually taken by the warmth of a log fire in the dining room. As the weather warms up we move to our rooftop terraces for dining al fresco. The Atlas mountain views from the two roof terraces are amazing, and on most days, Mount Toubkal, North Africa's highest mountain is visible.

We cater for non-residents and regularly prepare lunches and dinners for walking and trekking groups. Classic Moroccan dishes are prepared, heavily influenced by delicious Berber recipes.

Toubkal National Park is the leading adventure destination in North Africa. At its heart in the High Atlas Mountains is Mount Toubkal (Jebel Toubkal), the highest mountain in the region at 4,167m. Ancient mule trails criss-cross between valleys and isolated Berber villages making Toubkal National Park a paradise for walkers and trekkers. On our 'trek' pages, you'll find details of our walking and trekking itineraries. If trekking is not your thing, don't despair. The Imlil Valley and Toubkal National Park offer other things to do.

For guests who seek fresh mountain air and breathtaking mountain scenery, Dar Assarou is a perfect place to literally do nothing! Choose to rest and relax, enjoying the magnificent High Atlas scenery which surrounds the lodge. Appreciate the sunrise, the sunset, the full moon and the amazing star-filled night skies.... For something more active, ride a mule to a Berber village or enjoy a short guided walk. And for something really different, Dar Assarou's High Atlas cooking school runs daily cooking courses for guests keen on learning how to make a tasty Berber tagine!

For something further afield, day trips can be arranged to Marrakech, the Ourika Valley, Lake Takerkoust, Kik Plateau, the Agafay Desert, local Berber markets and the Ouirgane Valley.

With the majestic High Atlas mountains, Anti-atlas mountains and Jebel Sahro range, Morocco offers almost limitless trails for the casual walker or serious trekker. All our walking and trekking holidays take place in remote, Off-the-beaten-track regions and include stays in traditional Berber villages inhabited by friendly local people who live a life that has changed little over hundreds of years. We offer a range of classic treks as well as gentler walking holidays often based in one or two centres.

Toubkal National Park has at its centre the highest mountain in North Africa. This iconic peak attracts trekkers from around the world attempting to summit Jebel Toubkal. Toubkal can be conquered in as little as two days from Imlil with an overnight at the Toubkal or Mouflon Refuges before the final ascent. Whatever time you can spare we can arrange a Toubkal trek which is tailored to your requirements. Whether it be a 2, 3, 4 or 5 day trek, or perhaps a ‘Grand Trek of the Atlas’, let us know – we’ll be delighted to advise you and arrange the logistics for your trek.​

If you don’t like the idea of changing accommodation each night on a trekking circuit then consider staying at just one or two locations enjoying guided walks to Berber villages and beyond each day. With walks suiting all levels of ability these holidays offer the chance to experience the Atlas on foot returning to your chosen lodge each night. Combining Dar Assarou with Kasbah Africa in the Azzaden Valley, creates a varied walking holiday.
