Marrakech & Toubkal Summit Trek: What to Expect
Morocco is famous for its rich culture, welcoming people, and incredible food. But did you know it’s home to numerous 4000m mountains too? The Atlas Mountain range extends across northwestern Africa for over 2,500km, separating the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean coastline from the Sahara Desert. This mountainous terrain is scattered with huge canyons, ravines, and Berber villages. The highest peak here is Toubkal, situated 80km south of Marrakech. This multi-day Jebel Toubkal hike is a unique experience mixing new mountain scenery, local cultures, and tasty food.
The trip starts and ends in Marrakech, with its well-served international airport. After the tour, you'll stay one night in the old town (medina), a densely packed, high-walled medieval city dating back to the Berber Empire. A maze of small alleyways burrows through this part of the city, leading you to delicious street food stands, bustling souks (marketplaces), and local services such as hammam massages.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Mount Toubkal Summit Trek Itinerary
Please note this is a suggested itinerary only. While we try and stick to the tried-and-tested schedule below, the mountain and the weather sometimes have other ideas. You must be capable of sticking to the required group pace to complete the tour. If your ability or fitness hinders the trip, you may be asked to drop out of the tour at your own expense. Check out the full
Arrival Day in Marrakech
Fly into Marrakech and meet the local Adventure Base team at the airport. Pick up from the airport in Marrakech at 16:00* and transfer straight to Imlil. The transfer is approximately 1hr15mins - we recommend to grab a bottle of water from the airport before leaving! If you arrive early or late and wish to have your own transfer we can arrange that for an additional cost.
You will spend the night at Imlil Lodge which is located just 20 minutes walking distance from the village of Imlil. With a delicious dinner provided for the group, this is a great time to bond with your fellow group members.
*There is the possibility of the time being adjusted depending on the group arrival time
Approach the Toubkal Base Camp (3206m)
Around 9:30am after a hearty breakfast at the lodge, your guide and mule(s) will arrive (preordered rental gear will be with your mule). After a quick hello and loading of the mules, you will depart on the trek. Heading along the Mizane Valley, you pass the village of Aremd and then onto the shrine of Sidi Chamarouch. Your route takes you along mule tracks and up into the high rocky cliffs above the valley. Crossing the river you eventually come to the pastoral shrine of Sidi Chamarouch, which attracts tourists and pilgrims.
This generally is the first stop of the day where you can get refreshments such as coffee, traditional moroccan tea, freshly squeezed orange juice, water and a range of snacks from the small cafes/shops around the shrine. You then continue on for another hour and a half or so before you reach the lunch spot, a small shelter tucked on the side of the trail where it’s very common to spot mountain goats climbing above you in the mountain side. A delicious 3 course lunch is served by your expedition cook. From here the trail continues to climb steadily, snaking and zigzagging its way up to the refuge (3206m), where you will have a hearty dinner before spending the night.
*Generally in the summer months, you will be staying in tents just below the main refuge. Your guide and expedition cook will set them up for you on arrival, there will be a tent/mattress provided. The toilets and showers are inside the main building.
**There are 4 ’shops’ on the trail between Imlil and Base Camp where you can buy water, soft drinks, snacks and other various items (knitted woollen hats!).
12km 1450m up 0m down (6-8hrs)
Summit Day
Early in the morning you make your attempt on the summit of Toubkal, the highest peak in Northern Africa. The route takes you 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 summit you can enjoy the breathtaking vistas across the surrounding landscape. From here there are unrestricted views in every direction, from the Marrakech Plain to the High Atlas in the north and as far south as the Anti-Atlas and the Sahara. You will retrace your steps to return down the mountain and spend the night at Base Camp.
*Many other groups only stay for one night at the refuge, but we've intentionally chosen a two-night stay to give you more flexibility and a more relaxed pace on summit day.


8km 1150m up 1150m down (6-7hrs)
Marrakech!
Today you head back towards Imlil and say goodbye to your wonderful guide team over a traditional cup of Moroccan tea and lunch. After lunch you transfer back to Marrakech (1hr15mins). You arrive in time for a wander around the souks and explore the Medina. Spend the night at a Riad in Marrakech.
12km 0m up 1450m down (4-5hrs)
Departure Day
After a well deserved night's sleep in the Riad, it is time for one last breakfast before the trip ends and you make your journey home.
We also recommend adding on an extra night in Marrakech if you have enough time to do so and have an extra day to explore the sights or maybe have a traditional hammer and massage to ease those tired legs!
We arrange for one group transfer to the airport based on the flight times of the group. If you would prefer to book a private transfer it can be arranged for an additional cost.
