The highlight of the trek is the ascent of Mount Toubkal at 4,167m, the highest peak in North Africa. After an early start from the refuge, climb through rugged mountain terrain to the summit and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views across the High Atlas, Marrakech plain, Anti-Atlas and, on clear days, towards the Sahara.
With an extra night at the refuge compared with the 2-day itinerary, the 3-day trek allows for a more gradual experience, with time to enjoy the mountain scenery and summit without having to complete the entire descent on the same day.
The trek finishes with a descent to Imlil followed by a transfer back to Marrakech.
Tour Plan
Day 1: Marrakech – Imlil (1,740m) – Toubkal Refuge (3,207m)
Your Mt Toubkal climb starts with a morning pick-up from your accommodation in Marrakech. From the city, travel towards the spectacular High Atlas Mountains and the mountain village of Imlil, located at 1,740 metres.
Upon arrival, you will meet your local mountain team and begin your trek through the scenic Aït Mizane Valley. The trail winds through traditional Berber landscapes towards the village of Aremd, the last major settlement before the high mountain terrain.
From Aremd, continue towards the famous sanctuary of Sidi Chamarouch, dramatically built into the mountainside beside the river. Take a moment to appreciate the peaceful surroundings and nearby waterfall before continuing your ascent.
The trail gradually becomes steeper as you make your way deeper into the High Atlas towards the Toubkal Refuge, situated at 3,207 metres. Once at the refuge, settle in, enjoy dinner and relax in preparation for the following day’s summit adventure.

Overnight: Toubkal Refuge (3,207m)

Day 2: Toubkal Refuge (3,207m) – Mount Toubkal Summit (4,167m) – Toubkal Refuge
Today is the highlight of your adventure: the ascent of Jbel Toubkal, the highest mountain in North Africa at 4,167 metres.
After an early breakfast, set off from the refuge and begin the challenging climb towards the summit. The trail crosses rocky terrain and mountain streams as you gradually gain altitude. As you ascend, the landscape becomes increasingly dramatic, with panoramic views unfolding across the High Atlas.
Continue towards the upper plateau, where you can pause for a short rest and take in the spectacular surroundings. On clear days, the views extend towards the Marrakech plain and the High Atlas to the north, while the Anti-Atlas and the vast landscapes towards the Sahara can be seen to the south.
The final section leads to the summit of Mount Toubkal at 4,167 metres. Take time at the summit to celebrate your achievement and enjoy the remarkable 360-degree mountain panorama. Afterwards, begin your descent back towards the refuge. Enjoy a well-deserved lunch and spend the afternoon relaxing at the refuge, surrounded by the dramatic scenery of the High Atlas.

After breakfast at the refuge, begin your descent through the Aït Mizane Valley, following the mountain trail back towards Imlil.
The descent offers a different perspective of the landscapes you discovered on the way up, with views across the valley, traditional villages and rugged High Atlas peaks. Continue downhill at a relaxed pace until you reach Imlil.
Once in the village, enjoy a well-earned lunch at a local guesthouse and take some time to relax before meeting your driver for the journey back to Marrakech.
