Itinerary
Day One: Marrakech—Imlil—Refuge
The 1st day, heading out from Imlil, will take about 5 to 6 hours. You will head toward the Neltner Refuge (3207m) and, depending on the conditions, stay the night at the Refuge itself or in a tent. There will be mules to carry supplies and baggage and a guide to ensure you are on the best route for your group and that you are safe.
Day Two: Refuge – Toubkal – Marrakech
An early start will take you to the top of the highest peak in North Africa. The summit has an incomparable view of the Atlas Mountains, the Sahara Desert and the environments that have enclosed them for centuries. The time you spend at the top will depend on the weather. Normally, you will have enough time for around 30 minutes at the summit and then descend to the refuge for lunch. The day involves around 8-9 hours walking and finishes back in Imlil.
