Begin your adventure with a scenic drive from Marrakech through Tahnnaout, Oued Ghighaya, and Asni, enjoying stunning views of traditional Berber villages along the valleys.
Arrive in Imlil (1740m), the gateway to the High Atlas, and meet your local guide and mule team. Start trekking toward Tizi Mzik Pass (2479m), where panoramic views of the Imlil Valley and Toubkal Summit (4167m) await. Continue through lush juniper forests to Tamsoult Refuge (2550m), passing the highest waterfall in the Atlas Mountains (approx. 100m).
Overnight stay at the refuge. Trekking distance: 5 hours.
Day two is the most challenging day of the trek, gaining significant altitude as you ascend to Aguelzim Pass (3650m). The climb is gradual but rewarding, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding Atlas peaks and the Toubkal Summit in the distance.
After admiring the vistas, descend toward Toubkal Refuge (3207m), your overnight stop near the base of North Africa’s highest mountain.
Walking time: 6–6.5 hours.
Rise early for the summit climb of Mount Toubkal (4167m). On a clear day, enjoy panoramic views of the Atlas Mountains and even the Sahara Desert.
After the summit, descend past the refuge and follow the well-worn trail back to Imlil (1740m). From Imlil, drive back to Marrakech, arriving in the late afternoon.
Trekking distance: 8–9 hours, including 900m ascent and 2,500m descent.
