Toubkal 2 Days 1 Night tour

Arrange to have your 2-day Toubkal trekking tour begin in Marrakech, where you will be met by your driver and accompanied to the High Atlas Mountains. You will be picked up from your hotel in Marrakech. Then your private driver/guide will transfer you to the village of Imlil (1740m), which is located about 65 km south of Marrakech. The journey from Marrakesh will take around 90 minutes, the drive along the highway to the mountains is straightforward, with a gradual ascent. Once the road enters the rock valleys, it begins to curl around the side of the even inclining hills. Spot the local way of life as we pass through colourful villages, where Berbers farm in the river valleys and herd goats and sheep in the mountains. The deeper onto the Atlas range the road ventures the more winding the road becomes, edged by some sheers drops that can make a newcomer quite nervous but trust in your guide and driver, who know the roads to be home, you are in safe hands. You will arrive at the town of Imlil, which is the village that is close to great Toubkal. Imlil is a village that has developed solely to meet the demands of the growing climbing community. This is where you will prepare for your trek to Mount Toubkal on your 2-day climbing trip. In Imlil, you will meet the Berber muleteer crew. They will accompany you during your Atlas Mountain trekking tour, they will take care of your baggage and also food. An official, experienced and English-speaking mountain guide will take you on a trekking tour walk through the Berber village, passing via the shrine Sidi Chamharouch (2500m). Here we may stop for a lunch, prepared by our personal mountain cook. After lunch, you will continue your Atlas trekking. The first days’ trek will bring you to spend a night at the foot of the peak, in Toubkal Basecamp (3200m). The refuge has been created to cater for those who are climbing and offers a warm bed, hot food and a chance to meet other trekkers and exchange stories. In the evening you will enjoy a traditional Moroccan meal for dinner. During the summer months, there is an option to spend a night in a mountain tent.
