3-Day Guided Trek to Mount Toubkal from Marrakech

Start your journey with an early pick-up from Marrakech, heading south to the beautiful village of Imlil, nestled in the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains. Upon arrival in Imlil, meet your mountain guide and the mule team who will assist with luggage and supplies. The trek begins as you head up the valley, with awe-inspiring views of terraced fields, lush orchards, and traditional Berber villages. The first stretch takes you through Aroumd, a charming village offering panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and valleys. Stop for a picnic lunch along the trail, prepared by your guides, giving you a chance to relax and soak in the beauty of the Moroccan mountainscape. In the afternoon, continue your ascent through rugged trails that gradually lead to Toubkal Base Camp, located at 3,207 meters. Upon arrival at the refuge, settle in and enjoy a warm meal, then relax for the evening, preparing for tomorrow’s summit day with a night in the rustic mountain shelter.

Rise early to embark on the most exhilarating part of the trek—reaching the summit of Mount Toubkal, North Africa’s highest peak. Set out in the dark with headlamps to make the most of the cool early hours and the unforgettable sunrise over the Atlas Mountains. The path to the summit is steep and challenging, requiring careful steps over rocky terrain, but the reward is worth it. As you reach the peak at 4,167 meters, you’re met with breathtaking views that extend over the Atlas range and, on a clear day, all the way to the Sahara Desert in the south. Take time to enjoy the summit experience, capturing photos and reflecting on your journey to the top of Morocco. Begin your descent back to Base Camp, where a well-earned lunch awaits. The afternoon is yours to relax at Base Camp, chatting with fellow trekkers, unwinding with a book, or simply taking in the high-altitude tranquility. After dinner, spend a second night at the refuge, resting up after an unforgettable day.

After a hearty breakfast, bid farewell to Base Camp as you begin the descent back to Imlil. As you make your way down, savor the beautiful morning light over the valley and enjoy the gradual return to the green terraces and villages of Imlil. With your guides leading the way, take in the last views of the Atlas Mountains, a perfect opportunity to reflect on the challenge and beauty of your trek. Once you arrive in Imlil, relax over a celebratory lunch in a cozy guesthouse or a local café, a chance to savor traditional Moroccan flavors one last time in the mountains. In the afternoon, transfer back to Marrakech, where you’ll arrive by evening. Your adventure through Morocco’s highest mountains concludes with memories of the trek, the views, and the achievement of conquering Mount Toubkal.
