Mount Toubkal: Conquering North Africa’s Highest Peak

Standing tall at 4,167 meters, Mount Toubkal reigns as the highest peak in Morocco. It’s a trekking peak, meaning there’s no technical climbing involved. During the winter months, from October to May, two days of the trek involve walking with crampons and an ice axe for added security. The ascent is designed to cater to avid hikers, with non-technical sections that include easy scrambling and snow slopes.

The reward for your efforts is the awe-inspiring view from the summit. To the north, you’ll gaze upon the majestic Atlas Mountains, while to the south, the Sahara Desert unfurls. The entire horizon is adorned with the jagged summits of the High Atlas, stretching endlessly in all directions.

Day 1: Marrakesh – Imlil – Azzaden Valley via Tizi Mzik

Your journey begins with a morning transfer from Marrakesh to Imlil (1,700m), the starting point of your adventure. Meet our team, including your guide and mules, and enjoy a traditional tea before setting off on your first day’s trek. Your destination is Tizi Mzik (2,400m), where you’ll pause for lunch with scenic views. Continue your hike to the Edassi village (1,750m), where you’ll have dinner and spend the night in a guesthouse. Anticipate 4-5 hours of walking during the day.

Day 2: Idhissa to Tikent – Uncovering the Azaden Valley

On day two, you’ll explore the Azaden Valley, home to terraced cultivation, adobe villages, and bountiful fruit trees. As you traverse this valley, you’ll ascend Tizi Takherrourte and enjoy lunch en route. Your journey leads you to the village of Tikent, renowned for its walnut groves, where you’ll stay overnight in a guesthouse. Expect around 5-6 hours of walking on this day.

Day 3: From Tikent to Azib Tamsoult via Tizi Tagoudalt

After breakfast, you’ll depart from Tikent and set out for Tizi Tagoudalte, providing panoramic views of the valley and the peaks on the western side of Toubkal. The trail then descends through juniper-laden paths, passing by sheepfolds and the village of Tizi Oussem (1,850m). Enjoy your lunch in this charming village before continuing your trek to reach Azib Tamsoult, where you’ll spend the night in a shelter.

Day 4: Ascending Tizi Aguelzim to Refuge Toubkal

Day four presents a moderate hike eastward along mule tracks, leading to the challenging Tizi Aguelzim (3,550m). After conquering the pass, continue your journey southeast to reach the Toubkal Refuge, where you’ll spend the night. The refuge options include Neltner Hut or Mouflon. Plan for around 7 hours of trekking.

Day 5: Summiting Mount Toubkal and Returning to Aroumd Village

Rise early to embark on the ascent of Mount Toubkal (4,167m), offering panoramic views over the Atlas Range and the Sahara Desert. A long descent takes you past the refuge, following the well-traveled path back to Aroumd Village. You’ll stay overnight in a lodge, with this day encompassing 8-9 hours of trekking, involving a 900m ascent and a nearly 2,500m descent to Aroumd Village.

Day 6: From Aroumd Village to Marrakesh

Start your day with a trek from Aroumd Village to the south, passing the stark slopes and Western High Atlas peaks of the Toubkal Massif. These majestic peaks, including Mount Aguelzim (3,547m), Aksouâl (3,847m), and the Adrar Adj (3,122m), will be your constant companions. Enjoy a nature-inspired lunch before returning to the lodge for a refreshing shower. Finally, a transfer will take you back to Marrakesh.
