Trekking 3 Days Toubkal Peak Trek in High Atlas Mountains

Toubkal is the highest peak in North Africa with a summit of 4167m/13,600 ft. Toubkal trek allows stunning views of the Atlas Mountains, Berber Villages, and verdant green valleys. It is a great adventure for 3 days of trekking, was designed for keen walkers who want to mix a bit of backcountry into their Moroccan adventure. The Toubkal ascent is non-technical involves uphill hiking, some easy scrambling, and snow slopes. The views from the summit of Toubkal are amazing as you can see across the mountains to Marrakech to the north and the start of the Sahara desert to the south. Our trail will lead you to explore the Azzaden Wawgant, which is two main valleys of the Atlas tucked between the high peaks of Toubkal. Plus, this trail avoids the heavily trekked approach and avoids going up and down the same way.

01 Day 1 : Imlil Village - Chamharoch - Toubkal Refuge

Pick up from your hotel in Marrakech. After a transfer to the little village of Imlil we begin our trek. Heading along the Mizane Valley, we first pass 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 refuge (3206m), our stop for the night.

02 Day 2 : Toubkal Refuge - Toubkal Peak (4160M) - Back to Toubkal Refuge

Early in the morning we make our attempt on 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 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 spend the night at the refuge again.
