Day-by-day itinerary

Day 1

Marrakech - Atlas mountains - Imlil (1,740 m) - Toubkal Refuge (3,200 m)

Today you discover the best of the Atlas Mountains on a guided trek from Marrakech. We pick you up from your hotel and drive into the High Atlas to Imlil, where our Toubkal trek begins. After meeting our team, we hike up to Sidi Chamharouch for a short break, then continue the 2-day, 1-night Toubkal trek with our experienced mountain guide through stunning valleys. After a few more hours of hiking, we reach the Toubkal Refuge at 3,207 metres, where you enjoy dinner and an overnight stay in the High Atlas.

Day 2

Toubkal Refuge - Toubkal summit (4,167 m) - Imlil - End in Marrakech

After an early start we hike up to the summit of Toubkal at first light, with breathtaking panoramic views in every direction — High Atlas peaks one way, Sahara desert horizons the other. After savouring the summit, we descend back to the refuge in around two hours and, after lunch, continue the descent to Imlil. From there we transfer you back to your hotel in Marrakech.
