3DAYS TOUBKAL
Tour Details
The climb to the summit of Mount Toubkal, at 4167 meters the highest peak in north Africa will give you a great vantage point to see the breathtaking views of the Atlas mountains, the lush green valleys and surrounding countryside, as well as the chance to immerse yourself in the traditional Berber culture of the region. You will be accompanied by expert local guides and muleteers through a fascinating and beautiful world that you will remember as the adventure of a lifetime. Jebel Toubkal is a trekking peak which involves no climbing. As the ascent is non-technical, it is designed for avid hikers, but does involve some easy scrambling and there are snow slopes from November through April, which require use of crampons and ice axes for security. The views from the summit are panoramic, from the mountains to Marrakech to the north, and the edge of the Sahara to the south, with the jagged and majestic peaks of the High Atlas stretching as far as the eye can see.
Our Express Route will take us through two of the best known valleys of the Atlas region, Azzaden and Wawgant. This gives the trekker the ability to avoid backtracking through terrain already covered and allows you to experience more during the time available.
Tour Itinerary
DAY1,MARRAKECH-IMLIL-AZIB N TAMSOULT
Departing Marrakech for an hour and a half drive to the trekking centre of the High Atlas, Imlil (1740m). We'll take time to discover the area and hike to the mountain pass of Tizi-n-mezzik (2489m). We will enjoy a field picnic in a juniper forest while enjoying the views of the Azzaden valley. After our lunch we descend into the Azzaden valley to the summer village Tamsoult (2250m). Here we spend the night at the refuge or camp. The day's trek is 5 hours.
DAY2,AZIB N TAMSOULT-AGELZIM PASS-TOUBKAL BASE CAMP.
Today's climb out of the Azzaden valley to Toubkal Refuge is fairly challenging. We pass through via Ighouliden waterfalls and over Aguelzim Mountain (3560m). Again we have the pleasure of a fresco lunch while taking in the stunning views of the High Atlas. Each vista is a beautiful gift from the mountains and trekkers never tire of discovering what lies beyond the next pass. We spend the night at Toubkal Refuge, either at Niltner Hut or Mouflon. This is a great gathering place for trekkers from all over the world and you'll most likely share a bunk room with others preparing for the ascent. The day's trek is 7 hours.
DAY3,TOUBKAL BASE CAMP-TOUBKAL SUMMIT-IMLIL-MARRAKECH
We rise early to prepare for the ascent of Toubkal at 4167m, where, if the clouds allow, you will enjoy the sweeping vistas from the Atlas Range to the Sahara Desert. After reaching the summit at 900 m and enjoying our success we take the well-worn path back down to Imlil, a descent of 2500 m. This is a long day of 8-9 hours trekking. From Imlil you will be transported back to Marrakech.
