3-day guided climb of Mount Toubkal

Distance: 9km – Altitude change +1460m / -1000m.

After crossing the Haouz plain, the road goes through the Moulay Brahim gorges to Asni, before following the Assif Ait Mizane in Imlil. Imlil (1740m) is the starting point of the Toubkal massif hikes. Here we meet the mule drivers team. We start the ascent in a zigzag path with views over the Aremd village, perched on an ancient glacial moraine. Then we progress along the Ait Mizane valley to the sacred site Sidi Chamharouch, where we have a picnic. The landscape becomes more alpine with high summits dominating the valley. After 5 hours walking, we arrive to the Toubkal refuge (3207m). Overnight in lodge or camp.

Distance: 17km – Altitude change +960m / -2220m.

Very early breakfast and departure to avoid the crowds and enjoy an unforgettable sunrise from the highest point of Northern Africa! The ascent begins with a steep section in a scree, before reaching the trail that follows the bottom of a ravine to the Toubkal pass (3975m). We can already see the summit. There are no technical difficulties, but the path between blocks and altitude remind us that we are in the high mountains! We continue on a less steep ridge until the summit. There are magnificent 360° views of the Anti Atlas, the whole Toubkal massif as well as the Haouz plain and Marrakech.

After a short pause, we take the same route back until the refuge, where we have a snack. Then we descend to Imlil. After lunch, transfer to Marrakech and checkin at the Foucault hotel. The evening will be an opportunity to enjoy the Medina and the djema el’fnaa square, always spectacular.

Breakfast and transfer to the airport depending on your flight time.
