3 Days Toubkal

Itinerary

Day 1: 

Pick up from your hotel in Marrakech. After a transfer to the little village of Imlil, we begin our trek.
Heading along the Mizane Valley, we first pass the village of Aremd and then onto the shrine of Sidi
Chamarouch. We then continued east, and by crossing the flood plains, our route took us along mule
tracks and up into the high rocky cliffs above the valley. Crossing the river, we eventually come to the
pastoral shrine of Sidi Chamarouch, which attracts tourists and pilgrims. From here, the trail continues

to climb steadily, snaking and zigzagging its way up to the snowline and the refuge (3206m), our
stop for the night.

​

Day 2: 

Early in the morning, we make our attempt on the summit of Jebel Toukbal, the highest peak in
Northern Africa. Our route takes us up the south cirque, crossing the stream above the refuge. The
walking is relatively straightforward, but the scree and the altitude will make the going quite difficult
in parts. The views along the way make the journey more than worthwhile. When you reach the 
summit, you will see that the vistas across the surrounding landscape are breathtaking. 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. We will retrace our steps wher we return
down the mountain and spend the night at the refuge again
