Mount Toubkal summit trek, 2 days from Imlil or Marrakech. A demanding guided ascent of North Africa’s highest peak. Max 8 guests per guide. From €305 per person.

Tour overview

Mount Toubkal is 4,167 m, the highest peak in North Africa, and you can climb it in two days. This 2-day Mount Toubkal summit trek starts in Imlil, in the High Atlas about 90 minutes from Marrakech, and follows the classic route with a mountain guide. It is short and it is hard: there is no spare acclimatization day, so it suits hikers who already walk long days and are comfortable with height.

The route

Day one is the walk up the Mizane Valley, through Aremd and past the shrine of Sidi Chamharouch, to the refuge area at around 3,200 m. Day two starts early for the summit, then you come back down to Imlil. Weather, snow and how you feel on the day shape the plan, and the summit is never guaranteed. Your guide makes the final call.

Who it suits

Fit walkers short on time who want the summit without a longer trek. If you have never been above 3,000 m, our 3-day version with an extra day to adjust is the safer choice. Maximum 8 guests per guide.

Included / Excluded

Included: a licensed mountain guide, a muleteer and mules to carry luggage and kitchen gear, and meals prepared on the trail by the muleteer. Lodging type, meal plan and transfers are written into your quote.
Excluded: flights, personal travel insurance, tips, and any Marrakech transfer unless you add it. Crampons can be rented in Imlil if the snow calls for them.

What to bring

Sturdy broken-in boots, layers for cold mornings at altitude, a warm hat and gloves, a head torch, sun protection and a water bottle. We send a full packing list when you book.
