Itinerary
Day 1 Marrakech
Arrive in Marrakech and spend some time exploring this wonderfully colourful city.
Day 2 Marrakech to Azaden Valley
Journey into the heart of the High Atlas range. After meeting your mules and muleteers, climb up to the Tacht Pass (2000m) before descending into the Azaden Valley, famous for its beautiful juniper forests.
Day 3 Mt Toubkal
A full day walking through the villages on the northern slope of Mt Toubkal. This famous mountain can be seen from Marrakech thanks to its unique shape. There is an optional ascent in the afternoon, for those who want to try a more demanding 3-hour trek, to the summit of Hadjj (3200m), for excellent views of Mt Toubkal. Your camp for the night sits at an impressive 2700m.
Day 4 Toubkal Base Camp
Today cross the Aguelzim pass (3550m). The climb is quite steep, but once at the top enjoy panoramic views out towards the plains that surround Marrakech. Descend to Toubkal Base Camp and either enjoy a 3 hour optional climb to the summit of Ouanoums (3650m) or simply relax. The busy refuge, which sits at an altitude of 3207m, was constructed by Club Alpin Française in 2000. Camp in the grounds and benefit from showers, a small shop and the cosy lounge.
Day 5 Mt Toubkal Summit
Rise early for the ascent of Mount Toubkal, climbing steeply through scree before traversing the southern ridge to reach the summit at 4167m. After enjoying the magnificent panoramic views, descend back to base camp and have the rest of the afternoon free to reflect on the achievement.
Day 6 Mt Quanakrim
Today there is an exciting opportunity to ascend another of Morocco's 4000m peaks - Mt Ouanakrim. Although lower than Toubkal, this summit is considered more challenging, and is often a highlight of the week for many. Depending on weather and the group’s ability, the leader will decide if this walk is achievable. On return, leave base camp to walk down to the village of Arroumd (1904m). Spend the afternoon exploring this pretty village or just take the opportunity to relax on the terrace.
Day 7 Marrakech
Following a short walk down to Imlil, you will drive back to Marrakech where you will have a guided tour. Take in the main sites and learn about the history, culture and architecture of this wonderful city. Have some free time to explore the Djemaa el Fna and the souk where you can try your hand at bartering for a bargain!
Day 8 Marrakech
Say goodbye to your fellow travellers, as your tour comes to an end after breakfast.
