Overview :

  At 4,167m, Toubkal Summit is the highest Peak in North Africa the walk to the summit is challenging, but it requires no mountaineering experience and the panoramic view from the summit makes the hard walk worthwhile.
With the start of the trek just a couple of hours drive from Marrakech, you can reach the summit and back within 2days and still have time to explore the red city of  Marrakech.

Trek itinerary :

Day 1:

  After one hour from Marrakesh 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 continue east and by crossing the flood plains our route takes 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 Toukbal Refuge (3206m), our stop for the night.

Approx. 4 to 5hrs walking.

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 talus 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. We will retrace our steps when we return down the mountain and head back towards Imlil, and then to Marrakech
