Itinirary (6 Days)


6 Days Trek Atlas Mountains—Mount Toubkal With Morocco Travel Tours Early in the in the morning, we have a detailed briefing on the Atlas trek and then leave for the one-hour drive to the starting point of the Atlas trek. We meet our muleteer team and load mules with all the needed equipment. We start by walking uphill, and the first day is usually a more leisurely acclimatization trek in the Ouirgane National Park. Overnight in a gite at Tinzert, a small Berber village. Approx. 5 hours of trek.

After the morning meal, we head up and outside of the valley and traverse the fascinating valley of Azzaden. The scenic views open up to a rushing mountain stream surrounded by beautiful walnut groves. 5-hour trek. Overnight in Gite at Ait Aissa.

You'll head up the valley towards Tizi Oussem, from where you'll move towards Mzik Pass, just before descending into Imlil. Today's trip involves a fantastic climb outside the Azzaden Valley. Overnight in the guesthouse. 6 hours of trekking.

After the morning meal, we'll begin our trek in Atlas, moving along the Mizane Valley, initially towards the village of Aremd and then onto the shrine at Sidi Chamarouch. We'll continue east and cross the floodplains; our route would take us along the mule tracks and up into the high, rocky cliffs above the valley. From here, our trail continues to climb steadily, zigzagging and snaking its way up to the snowline and the Toubkal Refuge (3,206m), our stop for the night. 5hrs trek.

In the morning, we'll attempt the summit of Jebel Toubkal, the tallest peak in Northern Africa. The walking is straightforward, but the altitude and the screen could make the going a bit difficult. However, the views along the way would make the journey a remarkable one. Upon cresting the ridgeline, we'll arrive at the plateau, from where it's a short walking distance to the summit. There are views in all directions from the peak, from the Marrakesh Plain to the High Atlas in the north and the Sahara and Anti-Atlas in the far south. We then return to the refuge and head back towards the Armed Forces. We spend the night in a local guesthouse—an 8-hour walk.

After breakfast, we take a hiking tour via the villages of Imlil Valley. In the afternoon, drive back to Marrakech. With 4 hours of walking. End of 6 Days Trek Atlas Mountains—Mount Toubkal With Morocco Travel Tours.
