Day 01:

 Marrakech - Imlil - Toubkal Refuge

After a transfer to Imlil Village, we begin our trek. Heading along the Ait Mizane Valley, we first pass through 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 02:

Toubkal Refuge - Summit - Refuge - Imlil.

 Early in the morning, we make our attempt at 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 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. We will retrace our steps when we return down the mountain and head back towards Imlil.

THE LEVEL OF THE EXCURSION

It is about a Trek without notable technical difficulty. It is necessary to be in the good physical condition and to be able to go 5 to 8, each day, with a studied rhythm from your guide. We have stopped all the walking paths, with 01H30 to 02H00 in midday for rest and lunch pause.

There is always a light back bag where to take a minimum of daily needs (gourd or bottle of water, food of race, camera…). All the luggage and food are transported by mules. When a medical problem (distortion for example), it is always possible to call upon an extra mule. However, it should be known that the ground is not flat, that it is necessary sometimes to go up to climb a collar, that you will find certain stages a little long… In short, you will have physical feelings, it is certain, and it is necessary to have the desire and the spirit to hike and walk in mountains.

The itinerary indicated will be able to undergo modifications imposed by the mean level of walking of the group, or by the climatic conditions.
