Lalla Takerkoust & Plateau du Kik — Marrakech Atlas Foothills Loop.
A relaxed loop through the Marrakech foothills taking in Lake Lalla Takerkoust and the high, wide-open Plateau du Kik. Quiet back roads cross farmland and the tabletop plateau — carpeted with wildflowers in spring — with the snow-capped High Atlas as a constant backdrop. Ideal for a gentle first day in the mountains, with lakeside lunch stops and Berber villages.
