01
Day 1: Marrakech - Imlil - Tacheddirt
6 Days Hiking Tour From Marrakech To Toubkal Summit
Pick up from your accommodation in Marrakech to drive to Imlil via Asni. Imlil is the principal trailhead for walkers, and a busy market town. There is a constant movement of people coming down from the Mountains, and an equal supply of activity from those about to embark on their adventure. We meet our hiking team and once all our gear is loaded we begin walking along the valley towards Tacheddirt beyond Imlil. As the trail begins to rise, we climb up to the pass at Tizi n'Tamatert (2,279m). We then descend to the pretty village of Ouaneskra and continue further to reach Tacheddirt (2,400m), where we generally camp near the river for the overnight with dinner.
02
Day 2: Tacheddirt - Azib Likemt
6 Days Hiking Tour From Marrakech To Toubkal Summit
After an early breakfast, we start crossing the valley in a long, slow ascent to the pass at Tizi Likemt (3,555m). The walking path is not quite easy as there is a considerable amount of loose scree on the ground. At the top we enjoy our first fine view of the Toubkal massif before a long downhill descent to the village of Azib Likemt, where we camp for the night with dinner.
03
Day 3: Azib Likemt - Tizi n'Ourai - Amsouzert
6 Days Hiking Tour From Marrakech To Toubkal Summit
Today will be relatively easy day which takes us through a variety of contrasting landscapes. From Tizi n'Ououraine (3,120m) we enjoy further views and scenery of the Toubkal massif, including the summit, the east face and the Ifni Dome (3,876m). The trail leads on towards Amsouzert, one of the most striking villages in the region, where we spend the night with dinner – dormitory-style in a simple village Gite.
04
Day 4: Aamsouzert - Ifni Lake
6 Days Hiking Tour From Marrakech To Toubkal Summit
Today you will explore small villages west of Amsouzert as we make our way towards Ifni Lake, the only lake in the massif. It is a memorable sight, surrounded by Rocky Mountains and giant heaps of rubble, and is unusually deep. We expect to arrive by lunch time and spend the afternoon relaxing at the shore. We camp tonight in this area with dinner.
05
Day 5: Ifni Lake - Nelter Hut
6 Days Hiking Tour From Marrakech To Toubkal Summit
Today we should be fit, acclimatized and ready to tackle the hardest day of the trek. We make our way along a steep path that leads up a seemingly endless scree slope. At length we reach the pass at Tizi n'Ouanoums (3,664m), a narrow ledge between two shafts of rock. From here it is a long zigzag descent to Nelter Hut, a Mountain refuge where we spend the night with dinner.
06
Day 6: Mt. Toubkal Summit - Imlil - Marrakech
6 Days Hiking Tour From Marrakech To Toubkal Summit
Today we should wake up early to follow a well-worn route to the summit. If conditions are good it should take no more than 3-4 hours to reach the summit, where we enjoy an expansive view of the entire Atlas range and Marrakech plains beyond. Afterwards, we start to descend fairly rapidly to the villages of Sidi Chamharouch and Aremd, before following the Mizane River, along a well-forested trail to the village of Imlil where you will meet your driver to make your way to Marrakech.
