Itinerary

1. Day 1- Marrakech - Imlil

   • You will be picked up from your Marrakech lodging on the first day. In your car, head for the high Atlas Mountains. The drive to Imlil Valley, where the trek begins, will take about one and a half hours. Our local team will meet you when you arrive. 
   • After that, you will be taken to a guesthouse where you can enjoy a complimentary mint tea and look at a map of our 4-day Toubkal trek. You will later embark on an acclimatization hike to the Tizi Mzik pass, 2489m, where you will stop for a cook-prepared lunch. 
   • You will use the same route to return down after the lunch break and spend the night at your lodge in Imlil. The walk will take about 4 hours.

2. Day 2- Ait Mizane Valley - Toukbal Refuge

   • You will begin your trek along the Ait Mizane Valley the following morning after breakfast at your lodging. Prior to arriving at the shrine of Sidi Chamarouch, which draws both tourists and pilgrims, travel first to the village of Aremd (although only Muslims are allowed to cross the stone bridge to visit the marabout shrine itself). The village is a chaotic collection of houses that blends into a chaotic mass as it sits next to a small waterfall. 
   • You will eventually stop for lunch. The trail then continues to ascend steadily, zigzagging and winding its way up to the Toukbal Refuge (3206m), where we will spend the night. It will take 5 to 6 hours to walk there.

3. Day 3- Jebel Toukbal's summit

   • You will attempt to reach Jebel Toukbal's summit after a leisurely breakfast. Your route ascends the South Cirque, crosses the stream above the refuge, and then traverses one of the many scree fields that the mountain has to offer. The going will be quite difficult in places due to the scree and altitude, but the walking is fairly simple. The scenery along the way, however, more than justifies the trip. 
   • You will have breathtaking views of the high Atlas mountains once you reach the summit. 
   • You will return to the refuge via the same route after taking a brief break on the pass, where you will have lunch and spend another night. It will take 6 to 7 hours to walk there.

4. Day 4- Marrakech

   • You will take the same route when you return to Imlil Valley. Before being transferred back to Marrakech, you will eat lunch in Imlil. The walk and drive to Marrakech will each take about 4 to 5 hours.
