Day 1: Marrakech – Imlil – Armed and Mizane Valley – Toubkal Refuge

All visitors will be picked up from their hotel and head towards the Toubkal massif surrounded by high rough rocky peaks and steep valleys. Then, we will start climbing towards the slopes of the Massif when we pass through a small town called Asni. On the way to the village of Imlil, we will be able to see the valley of Oued Rhirhaia below us, where we will be the place to leave our vehicle. The trip will continue with trekking to Aremd village and Sidi Chamarouch shrine with the guidance of the guide. As the largest village in the area, Aremd offers a unique backdrop of tradition and modernity in terraced agriculture, streets and accommodation. You can see a lot of cattle and goats surrounding the areas. Going east, we will cross the river until we reach the sanctuary of Sidi Chamarouch which is a famous tourist spot there. Finally, the trek will end with arrival at Toubkal Refuge for overnight.

Day 2: Jebel Toubkal summit - Toubkal refuge

The route of the second day trip will start from Toubkal Refuge to Jebel Toubkal peak which is considered the highest peak in North Africa. During the journey, we will be able to see wonderful panoramas of the mountain. After reaching the plateau, it takes only a short walk until you reach the summit. There we can see the beautiful scenery of many famous places in Morocco like Marrakesh plain, High Atlas and Sahara. After that, we will return to Toubkal Refuge.
