The journey
Do this lovely trek at a slower walking pace, allowing time to explore terraced valleys, waterfalls, and the highest peak here. Pass through colourful Berber villages and over beautiful mountain passes as you slowly ascend to the top of Mount Toubkal on this 3-day trek. There is also the option to summit Toubkal's sister peak, Ouanoukrim (4,088 m), by adding an extra day to the tour.

Day by day
After your transfer from Marrakech to Imlil (1,780 m), you will set off on a 6-hour trek out of the Imlil Valley and into the Azzadene Valley. Along the way, you will pass by Tizi N'Mzik at 2,450 m, the refuge at Azib n'Tansoult, and the Ighouliden waterfalls.
Overnight stay will be in the Lipeney mountain refuge at 3,000 m, or earlier at Azib n Tamsoult.
Today involves a fairly stiff climb out of the Azzadene Valley to the Toubkal Refuge over the Aguelzim Mountain pass at 3,560 m. Lunch will be taken with spectacular views over the Atlas Mountain Range.
Overnight stay will be in the Toubkal Refuge (Niltner Hut), where you will likely share a bunk room with other trekkers planning to tackle Toubkal early the next morning.
Be up early for the climb to Mt Toubkal (4,167 m). From here, you will have wonderful views of the Atlas mountain ranges and the Sahara Desert amidst the floating clouds. You will then take the long way back down, passing the refuge and finally following the well-worn path back to Imlil. This will be a fairly long day with about 8-9 hours of trekking, involving 900 m up and then almost 2,500 m back down to Imlil. With demanding walks and stunning mountain scenery, this trek is suitable for experienced trekkers seeking a new dimension and a challenge.
After the climb, you will be dropped off in Marrakech at around 5:00 pm.
