The Itinerary
Day 1
Arrival
Day 1 : Arrivals Transfer to a Riad in the Medina of Marrakech
Day 2
Marrakech – Imi Oughlad – Azzaden Valley (Aït Aïssa)*
* *Activity:* Morning pickup from your accommodation in Marrakech for a scenic 1.5-hour drive into the High Atlas Mountains. You will meet your trekking crew (guide, cook, and muleteers) at the trailhead in Imi Oughlad (1,450m). From here, the trek begins with a steady climb up through pine forests and juniper trees to the Tizi n'Techt pass (2,000m), offering expansive views of the surrounding valleys. After a freshly prepared picnic lunch, you will descend into the beautiful, red-clay Azzaden Valley. * *Trekking Time:* Approximately 4.5 to 5 hours. * *Overnight:* Gite (local guesthouse) or mountain lodge in Aït Aïssa (1,850m).
Day 3
Azzaden Valley – Tizi Mzik – Imlil
Day 3: Azzaden Valley – Tizi Mzik – Imlil* * *Activity:* After breakfast, you will leave the tranquil Azzaden Valley behind and begin a steady ascent up the spectacular Tizi Mzik pass (2,489m). The trail treats you to panoramic views of the valley behind and the bustling Imlil Valley ahead. After reaching the pass, enjoy a scenic lunch break before a winding descent down into Imlil, the main trekking hub of the High Atlas. The afternoon is yours to relax, explore the vibrant mountain village, or enjoy a glass of mint tea on a panoramic terrace. * *Trekking Time:* Approximately 4 to 5 hours. * *Overnight:* Riad / Mountain Lodge in Imlil (1,740m)
Day 4
Imlil – Chamharouch – Toubkal Basecamp (Les Mouflons / Neltner)*
* *Activity:* Your journey toward the roof of North Africa begins in earnest today. Leaving Imlil, you will trek alongside the riverbed, passing the traditional village of Aremd. The trail climbs steadily up to the holy shrine of Chamharouch (2,350m), a popular stop for hikers and pilgrims alike, where you will enjoy a hot lunch alongside the rushing mountain stream. From Chamharouch, the path steepens, taking you through rugged alpine scenery up to the Toubkal Refuge. * *Trekking Time:* Approximately 5 to 6 hours. * *Overnight:* Toubkal Refuge (3,207m).
Day 5
Basecamp – Mount Toubkal Summit – Imlil – Marrakech*
* *Activity:* An early alpine start (typically around 4:00 AM to 5:00 AM) to tackle the steep scree slopes before the sun hits the mountain. The climb is challenging but technically straightforward, rewarding you with the ultimate prize: standing at the summit of Mount Toubkal (4,167m). On a clear day, the breathtaking 360-degree views span across the High Atlas peaks, the Anti-Atlas range, and out toward the Sahara Desert. After celebrating at the peak, you will descend back down to the refuge for a well-deserved hot lunch, then continue the trek down to Imlil, where your transport will be waiting to drive you back to Marrakech. * *Trekking Time:* 3 to 4 hours to the summit; 2 to 3 hours back down to basecamp; 3 to 4 hours down to Imlil (Total: 8 to 11 hours).
