Hike the Highest Mountain in North Africa - 3 Days
DAY 1: MARRAKECH TO IMLIL (1,740 M)
Upon your arrival at Marrakech Airport, you'll be transferred to the picturesque mountain village of Imlil. Settle in and relish a warm welcome dinner, while marveling at the panoramic vistas of the High Atlas mountains. The package covers your food, accommodation, and transfers for the trip.
DAY 2: TREK TO REFUGE DE TOUBKAL (3,207 M)
Your day begins with a 3-hour trek to the quaint settlement of Sidi Chamharouch. A hearty lunch awaits you there, complemented by refreshing orange juice from local vendors. Post-lunch, embark on another 3-hour trek to Refuge de Toubkal, your abode for the night.
DAY 3: ASCEND MT. TOUBKAL (4,167 M) & RETURN TO MARRAKECH
Kickstart your journey around 4 am, maintaining a steady ascent. In about 2-3 hours, you should find yourself atop Mt. Toubkal, hopefully just as the sun rises. Revel in the breathtaking views: from its snow-capped peak, across the lush Anti-Atlas mountains, to the expansive Sahara desert. After a pause to capture these moments, begin your 6-hour descent to Imlil, followed by a drive back to the heart of Marrakech.
