2-day trek Mount Toubkal

Embark on a remarkable 2-day trek from Marrakech to Jebel Toubkal’s summit, North Africa’s highest peak. Starting in Imlil, Day 1 leads through diverse landscapes, with a night at Toubkal Refuge. Day 2, an early ascent, brings sweeping views and a challenging climb. Retracing steps down, the journey offers rewarding vistas before returning to Marrakech. A thrilling mountain adventure!

Day 1

Marrakech – Imlil- refuge Toubkal:

Our trek begins with a transfer to the charming village of Imlil. We journey through the Maizane Valley, passing Armed village and reaching the shrine of Sidi Chamharouch. Continuing east, we cross flood plains, following mule tracks up the steep rocky cliffs above the valley.

Crossing the river, we arrive at the pastoral shrine of Sidi Chamharouch, a spot of attraction for tourists and pilgrims alike. The trail steadily climbs, zigzagging its way to the Toubkal Refuge (3206m), where we spend the night. Approx. 4 to 5 hours of walking.

Day 2

refuge Toubkal – Toubkal summit – Imlil – Marrakech:

In the early morning, we set out to conquer the summit of Jebel Toubkal, the highest peak in Northern Africa. The route takes us up the south cirque, crossing a stream above the refuge. While the walk is relatively straightforward, challenging terrain and altitude add difficulty.

The spectacular views along the way make the journey immensely rewarding. Upon reaching the summit, breathtaking vistas span in every direction – from the Marrakesh Plain to the High Atlas in the north and extending south to the Anti-Atlas and Sahara.

Retracing our steps, we descend and return to Imlil, then head back to Marrakech.

  Hassan’s Wonderful Adventure
Hassan showed us a very nice part of Morocco that is only a stone’s throw from Marrakech. There are plenty of wonderful people in the Atlas Mountains and he is one of them. He showed us many wonderful sights on the tour, but also made sure that we got up and down from our trek in one piece. During the hike we also had a chance to learn about local culture, had a wonderful meal and had plenty of opportunities to take photos. Definitely a must do if you don’t mind heights!

  Excelente guía, conocedor del lugar, además de hablar varios idiomas.
Hassan es uno de los pocos guías más empáticos que conocí. Nos mostró unos lugares y paisajes increíbles de Marruecos. Nos llevó a ver las cascadas. Tuvimos un almuerzo típico marroquí en un auberge. Una maravillosa experiencia a su lado. RECOMENDABLE 100%

  Super Guide in Imlil!!
Die Tagestour war wirklich phantastisch und ist sehr empfehlenswert. Frühstück in einer durch Frauen betriebenen Kollektive, die Argan Oil herstellen, dann Weiterfahrt nach Imlil. Wir wurden durch unseren Guide abgeholt, der netter nicht sein konnte. Auf einer ca 1 1/2 Stunden dauernden leichten Wanderung zu einem der Wasserfälle erzählte er informativ und fröhlich über Kultur, Land und Leute. Immer fröhlich und vergnügt spricht er mehrere Sprachen und half sogar beim anschließenden Mittagessen als Bedienung aus. Wenn wir wieder kommen, und das ist sicher, werden wir ihn anrufen und nur von ihm geführt werden wollen, sei es bei einer Wanderung, beim Skifahren oder Bergwandern. All das wird von ihm angeboten-toll!!! Liebe Grüße Andreas

  Atlas gebergte
Een geweldige tocht gemaakt met Hassna. Stipt op tijd en veel kennis van de vallei en omgeving. Geweldig ervaring om zo kennis te maken met het Atlas gebergte.

We discovered thanks to Hassan in Imlil a nice authentic picture of Maroc witch is not so far of Marrakech We saw the famous waterfall but next we left tourist way to discover a more authentic way in several villages where the colors are beautiful. Hassan explained us his culture and we finished with a delicious tajine in an auberge. Great moment: We recommend Hassan if you want to do this nice experience. And inchallah perhaps we will do another experience with Hassan in the dessert because he organized also this kind of treck.
