This trip very disconnected will lead you to Asni, little berber village located at 1,150 m of altitude at the bottom of the highest mountain of Morocco, by a previous berber trail recently and partly tarred.
After having lunch, departure towards the kik plateau which dominates the Lalla Takerkoust lake, long reserve of water of 7 km where olive-trees and vines grow nearby. The view is just stunning and the way will down bring you to the lake with possible halt before the return back to Marrakech, only 40 km away.
