Itinerary!
DAY 1 :Marrakech – Imlil 1740 m– Toubkal Refuge 3207 m
Drive from Marrakech to Imlil and trek to Toubkal Refuge via Armed & the Mizane Valley.
We will pick you up from your hotel in Marrakech at 8:30 a.m. then drive south towards the High Atlas Mountains to the village of Imlil. Here we will leave our vehicle behind, put our luggage on our mules and head along the Mizane Valley, first towards the village of Armed and then onto the renowned shrine of Sidi Chamarouch where we will enjoy our tasty lunch. From here the trail continues to climb steadily, snaking and zigzagging its way up to the the Toukbal Refuge (3207 m), our stop for the night.
Approx. 5 hours walking.
DAY 2 :Refuge Toubkal - Toubkal Summit 4167m - Imlil Valley 1740m - 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 screwy and the altitude will make the going quite difficult in parts. The views along the way make the journey more than worthwhile.
