One of the best-selling treks in Morocco. Walk up to the Toubkal refuge on day 1, climb Toubkal (4,167m) on day 2, then head back to Marrakech. No mountaineering experience needed.
Walking times are approximate and can change with the weather and your pace.
Marrakech, Imlil, refuge
We pick you up from your accommodation in Marrakech and drive to the Imlil valley (1,740m), about 1h30 away, where the trek begins. Your local guide meets you there and you stop for a short break with Moroccan tea. Then you set off on foot towards the basecamp at 3,207m, passing the Sidi Chamharouch shrine, where you stop for a lunch prepared for you. After lunch you carry on uphill to the refuge, where you spend the night.
Refuge, summit, Imlil, Marrakech
Summit day starts with breakfast at the refuge, then you climb to the top of Toubkal (4,167m). It takes about 3h to reach the summit, with amazing views over the High Atlas, and 2 to 3h to come back down to the refuge. There you have lunch, then hike back down to Imlil by the same route, about 4 to 5h. From Imlil you are driven back to Marrakech, where the trek ends.
You climb about 1,470m on day 1, then about 960m more to the summit.
Not included: soft drinks, mineral water, tips, sleeping bags, or travel insurance.
Want more time to acclimatise? The 4-day trek adds an acclimatisation hike, and the 3-day Toubkal trek spreads the climb over more days.
Rdouane was an incredible tour guide for our mountain hike to the summit of Toubkal, Morocco. He was efficient, very well organised and made sure we were comfortable at all times during the hike š He planned timely meals along the route with our very own chef and answered any questions we had over the 2-day trip. If you're looking for an expert tour guide with excellent knowledge of the local area, Rdouane is your man! Would highly recommend, thanks very much š¤
We had a great experience with Redouane completing the 2 day Toubkal trek! He was so encouraging and motivating the whole journey, and provided us with great knowledge of the area. I would highly encourage anyone looking for a challenge to book this tour!
From ā¬245 per person. Tell Rdouane your dates and he will reply with availability. Any question is welcome.
