At 4,167 meters, Mount Toubkal is the highest mountain in North Africa. The hike to the summit could be a bit challenging, but it requires no mountaineering experience and the panoramic view from he summit makes all the efforts worthwhile.
The ascent is non-technical and only moderately difficult where the challenges are some steep and slippery scree slopes. With this trek we climb the mountain in two days - first day up to the refuge (around five hours), second day to the summit (around four hours) and back to Imlil (around four hours).
Mount Toubkal is just a couple of hours drive away from Marrakech!

Day 1: Pick up from your hotel in Marrakech. After a transfer to the little village of Imlil you will start your trek. Heading along the Mizane Valley, we first pass the village of Aremd and then onto the shrine of Sidi Chamarouch. You then continue east and by crossing the flood plains your route takes you along mule tracks and up into the high rocky cliffs above the valley. Crossing the river you 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). Here you will spend the night. About 5 to 6 hours walking. B/L/D
Day 2: Early in the morning you make your attempt on the summit of Jebel Toukbal, the highest peak in Northern Africa. Your route takes you 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 quite breathtaking. From here 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. You will retrace your steps when you return down the mountain and head back towards Imlil. Transfer back to Marrakech. About 9 to 10 hours walking.
