Follow the path uphill on a serious hike, crossing the Mizane Valley and continuing towards the shrine of Sidi Chamharouch.
Continue hiking to the Toubkal refuge, where you will spend the night. The refuge is quite basic but covers the necessities. It has a lounge area with a fireplace and a heater to warm you up, as well as toilets and hot showers.

Revel in the stunning views of Mount Toubkal.
Head back to the refuge for lunch.
