DAY 2
MARRAKESH TO IMLIL
A short distance separates us from the small Berber capital of the High Atlas.
Imlil will greet us with the busy energy of trekkers and climbers from around the world. They come here to explore the mountains. The small villages that settle in the valley have a beautiful imprint, with the characteristic flat roof adobe houses.
Notice the freshness of the orchards and fruit trees. Smell the fragrant fig trees and large walnuts.
Explore the small craft shops. Enjoy the smoky aromas from the coffee shops. Take in the scents of spices, barbecues, and green tea. Everything indicates that we are already in the Atlas.
We have the day for “acclimatization” and introduction to the area. We will start with a trip to Collado Ikkis. From there, we will enjoy spectacular views of the massif.
After that, we will return to Imlil early in the afternoon. Use the rest of the afternoon for a nice walk around the town and prepare the equipment for tomorrow.

DAY 3
IMLIL TO TOUBKAL
The beginning of the track!
Before leaving, we will have a meeting with the team of muleteers and the cook.. The journey starts on lovely paths. These paths go along terraces and fruit crops. You will see large walnut trees, which are typical of the High Atlas.
As we head-on, we will slowly ascend leaving behind the valley as we enter the High Arund. We will walk through small Berber villages.
After about three hours, we will reach the Marabout of Sidi Chamarouch. Tomb of a saint of Islam and a place of pilgrimage. Here, the Around River comes down with force and in some nearby streams, we will be able to refresh ourselves.
We continue our journey now by doing some loops and overcoming a steep slope to face the high valley of Around. We will see the big mountains soon.
These include Toubkal, Ouanokrin, Afella, and Timesguida. The fresh mountain air will help us as we climb. The nearby fountains will motivate us…
Finally, time for rest and refreshment. Have a good mint tea and prepare for dinner. Afterwards, an impressive starry sky will be a good reason for the gathering before going to sleep.

DAY 4
TOUBKAL’S PEAK
Today we go to the peak.
We will get up very early with time for a quick breakfast, and it is time to depart to trail Toubkal! We will ascend to the highest peak in Northern Africa.
As soon as we leave the Refuge, we will cross a small stream, and we will face the first strong ramps. We will climb around a waterfall that can freeze. After some steep slopes, the path will level out, and the ground will become softer.
From here, we move between large blocks of stones as we gain height in our search for the summit. As we reach the pass between the two peaks of Toubkal, we turn left. We walk through a snow-free area and follow an easy path until we get close to the summit.
The characteristic vertex of the summit will welcome us to the highest peak in North Africa. Congratulations, you have made it!
First-class panorama! To the south, the parched lands of the Anti Atlas, the Djebel Siroua, and the prelude to the Sahara. After, we will go back down to the Refuge to replenish forces.

DAY 5
MARRAKESH
Returning to Marrakesh.
Today we will descend from the Refuge Toubkal to Imlil. Once we arrive in Imlil, there will be a transfer taking you to Marrakesh. We will have the rest of the day to enjoy one of the most beautiful cities in Africa. For more than two centuries, this Berber city at the crossroads between the Sahara, the Atlas, and the Anti Atlas was the center of a great empire. Zocos, medina, palm groves, palaces, gardens, and mosques form one of the most fascinating sets that a traveler can find. The fall of the evening is quite a spectacle, as the people take to the streets to enjoy the coolness. The Plaza de la Djemma el Fna is full of color, and the sensual colors of the sunset reflect harmony in the urban landscape.
