Mount Toubkal trek in The High Atlas Mountains

2 Days Trek to and Around Jebel Toubkal

Duration: 2 days

Difficulty: medium

Come to have a look at our world from the “Mountain of all Mountains” – that´s how local Berber people call Jebel Toubkal, with its summit at 4167m making it the highest peak not only in Morocco but the whole North Africa. For two days you will exchange busy towns for spectacular mountain sceneries, experience hospitality of Berber people and feel proud of yourself when we finally reach the top.

Overview

You will be accompanied by a licensed and experienced guide who climbed the Toubkal for the first time when he was six! The tour is technically not difficult and you don´t need to have any previous mountaineering experience, but you should be a little bit fit and used to walking off-road. Good trekking shoes and a wind annorak are highly recommended in any season of the year.

We will spent the night in the atmospheric Refugee Toubkal owned by the French Alpine Club and run by Family Ait Elcadi. You will love the cosy atmosphere around the big fire place where many travellers and mountaineers before you have met and shared stories, food and addresses.

DAY 2

Trek to The Summit of Jebel Toubkal & Return to Imlil and Marrakech.

Early in the morning we make our attempt on the summit of Jebel Toubkal, 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 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 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.transfer to Marrakech

I went on this tour with my friend. The taxi driver picked us up at our riad, which was very nice. The driver, Jamal, was funny and gave us some moments to make pictures. Our tour guide, also Jamal , was very sweet and kind. For us the whole experience was unforgettable. Lovely people with very rich hearts!

It has been an amazing experience in Imlil. Left Marrakech to visit Imlil Village, our guide, his name is Hocaine is the famous and friendly tourist guide we've met.. every body knows him..he's from this small Berber village who lead us up the mountain where we had a delicious Moroccan traditional lunch. Thanks to those people we met for making this trekking extra special. You guys rock!! The whole experience was absolutely awesome!.

An amazing day with breathtaking sights and unforgettable experiences. Extremely knowledgeable and passionate guide that went the extra mile for us to construct a bridge from stone when the path was flooded from rain the night before.
