2 Days Toubkal Ascent Trek

You will have an early start on day 1. Your driver will pick you up early in the morning and drive you south to the village of Imlil. Before getting there, we will drive through the valleys of Toubkal Massif, passing by the Haouz Plain and then past the village of Asni. Asni village will be the beginning point of our climb to the Massif. On our way up, you will see all the tiny villages scattered around the hillsides if you look down.
We continue until we reach the village of Imlil, and that’s where our adventure begins. You will meet our expert mountain guides with you to the top. We will carry your luggage and equipment on mules back. We will take care of anything that will be of a burden to you or slow you down on your trek.
Be prepared for a long uphill hike (5/6 hours) to Toubkal Refuge. We will start our trek to the mountain, passing by the shrine of Sidi Shamharouch, where you will enjoy a picnic lunch in nature. After a short break, get ready to resume your hike to Toubkal refuge, which is used as a basecamp located in the sheltering bosom of Mother Nature.
Today’s hike will effectively test your legs’ capacity and endurance before the next day’s climb. Relax and enjoy an overnight in the wild. You could either spend the night inside Toubkal refuge or in a tent, provided it is summertime.
Whichever choice you take, take a goodnight’s sleep and get ready to meet the majestic Toubkal summit on the next day.

After an early breakfast, which will be served at 5:30 AM, we start the climb to Toubkal Summit.
the routes to the mountain change depending on the season: During wintertime, they are shorter but steeper and take 3 to 4 hours. Generally, the ascent is non-technical and safe, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t get challenging at some point.
Closer to the summit, there are some more tricky parts where you need to be cautious. However, our experienced guides will help you prevent risky routes and instead take you through safe ones. We will spend around 45min on the summit; we don’t want to spend too long a time so that you don’t suffer from altitude sickness.
The views from the summit are unbelievably charming, with views across the entire Atlas Mountains range and the Berber villages. The spectacular sights will make you forget any hardships you faced on your way to the top. Make sure that you don’t let your camera out for an extended period during wintertime, as the sub-zero temperature in the summit will quickly drain your camera batteries!
Upon our return to Toubkal refuge, we will take an hour or so to recover from the long hike, and then we will retrace our way back to Imlil, where you will meet your driver and eventually drive back to Marrakech.
Your 2-Day Mt. Toubkal hike will end with a drop-off at your Marrakech hotel.
