After breakfast, we have 1 hour and 30 minutes drive to Imlil village, 1700m, and we will start the trip. Heading along the Ait Mizan Valley, we pass first the village of Armad and then to the Mausoleum of Sidi Shamroush, 2400 m. We then continue east and, crossing the floodplains, our route takes us along mule tracks and up the rocky cliffs high above the valley that crosses the river, eventually arriving at the pastoral shrine of Sidi Shamroush, which attracts tourists and pilgrims. Here we will have lunch. From here the route continues. Steadily up, winding and winding until it reaches the snowline (in winter) and Tokbal Shelter (3207m), our stop for the night, about a 4 to 5 hour walk. The height difference is 1507 m between Koch Imlil and Toubkal.
DAY 2: REFUGE TOUBKAL 3207M – MOUNT TOUBKAL PEAK 4167M – REFUGE – IMLIL – MARRAKECH
Early in the morning we make our attempt on the summit of Jebel Toukbal, the highest peak in Northern Africa. Our route takes us up the south cirque, crossing the stream above the refuge. The walking 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 will retrace our steps when we return down to the refuge have lunch and then head back towards Imlil. 9 to 10 hours walk. Height difference is 960m between refuge and Toubkal peak.
