Mount Toubkal rises to 4,167 m in the High Atlas, and this two-day itinerary is the classic way to summit it from Marrakech. You drive to Imlil, meet your certified mountain guide and muleteer, and start the walk up the Mizane valley past the shrine of Sidi Chamharouch.
Day one is a steady 5 to 6 hour climb to the refuge at 3,207 m, with lunch on the trail and a hot dinner at the hut. You sleep early because day two starts before sunrise.
The summit push takes 3 to 4 hours over scree and, in winter, snow with crampons and ice axe provided. From the top you see the entire Atlas chain, the Sahara haze to the south and the Marrakech plain to the north. After photos you descend to Imlil for a late lunch and the transfer back to your hotel.

Toubkal Views is run from Marrakech by a Moroccan team, not an overseas booking platform.
Your guide is from the region and knows the Agafay tracks, the Atlas valleys and the best light for photos.

We collect you from your hotel or riad in Marrakech and bring you back at the end.
You talk to us directly before, during and after your trip — no call centre in between.
