Trip highlights

01 Trek from the Berber village of Imlil into Morocco's High Atlas Mountains

Explore Marrakech, Imlil, and Toubkal on this 2-day trekking tour. Climb Jbel Toubkal in Toubkal National Park, which at 4,167 m is the highest peak in the range. The Atlas range serves as a weather-system barrier in Morocco, running east-west and separating the Sahara's climatic influences, especially pronounced in summer, from the more Mediterranean climate to the north, resulting in dramatic temperature changes across the range.

Follow the mule track and reach the mountain hut via the shrine of Sidi Chamhrouch.
