3-Day Toubkal Trek from Marrakech with North Africa's Highest Peak

• Transfer from Marrakech to the little village of Imlil and begin the trek.
• Head along the Mizane Valley, first passing the village of Aremd and then continuing to the shrine of Sidi Chamarouch.
• Continue east, crossing the flood plains as the route follows mule tracks and climbs into the high rocky cliffs above the valley.
• Cross the river and eventually arrive at the pastoral shrine of Sidi Chamarouch, which attracts both tourists and pilgrims. From here, the trail climbs steadily, snaking and zigzagging up to the snowline and the Toubkal Refuge (3207 m), where you will stop for the night.

Overnight stay at the refuge.

• Early in the morning, make your attempt on the summit of Jebel Toubkal, the highest peak in Northern Africa. The route climbs the south cirque, crossing the stream above the refuge. The walking is relatively straightforward, but the scree and altitude make some sections quite challenging. The views along the way make the journey more than worthwhile.
• Upon reaching the summit, enjoy breathtaking vistas across the surrounding landscape. There are unrestricted views in every direction, from the Marrakesh Plain to the High Atlas in the north, and as far south as the Anti-Atlas and the Sahara.
• Retrace your steps on the descent and return to the Toubkal Refuge, where you will spend the night.

• Walk back from the Toubkal Refuge to Imlil.
• After arriving in Imlil, transfer back to Marrakech.
