Pic up you early in your Riad in Marrakech and drop off to Imlil village, and we will start the trek. Heading along the Ait Mizane Valley, we first pass Aremd village and then onto the shrine of Sidi Chamarouch.lunch then continue along mule tracks and up into the high rocky cliffs above the valley crossing the river we eventually come to the pastoral shrine of Sidi Chamarouch, which attracts tourists and pilgrims. From here the trail continues to climb steadily, snaking and zigzagging its way up to the snowline in ( in winter ) and the Toukbal Refuge (3207m),4 to 5 hrs walking..overnight in refuge.
Day 2: REFUGE 3207M – TOUBKAL SOMMIT 4167M – REFUGE – IMLIL – MARRAKECH
Early in the morning we make our attempt on the summit of Toukbal montagne , the highest peak in Northern Africa 4167m. Our route takes us up the south cirque, crossing the stream above the refuge. The Watling is relatively straightforward, but the screen 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 will see that the vistas across the surrounding landscape are quite breathtaking. From here there are unrestricted views in every direction, from the Marrakesh Plain to the High Atlas in the north and as far south as the Anti-Atlas and the Sahara. We return down to the refuge lunch and then head back towards Imlil. 9 to 10 hours walk. Height difference is 960m between refuge and Toubkal sommit.than back to Marrakech
