Treks in The Toubkal Region

This 6 hour, guided walk is ideal for those who want to experience the Atlas mountains and magnificent scenery and learn something of the Berber way of life.

This trek is highly recommended as it offers an excellent opportunity to experience the Berber way of life, to visit the only lake in the High Atlas and to climb the highest mountain in North Africa. The walking is at times demanding but the high passes we cross help to acclimatise and improve fitness before the ascent of Toubkal. The scenery is among the best in the Atlas range.

This trek follows the same route as the Imlil – Lake Ifni – Toubkal summit trek (Trek B), but for fit and acclimatised trekkers with limited time, there is the option of completing the summit of Toubkal and returning to Imlil in one day – a total of 6 days / 5 nights. There is then the option of staying overnight in Imlil or returning the same day to Marrakech.

This trek follows the same route as the Lake Ifni – Toubkal trek (Trek B) as far as Amsouzarte (Day 3). The route then heads north, avoiding Lake Ifni, into remoter areas of the Toubkal Massif. This is a more demanding and less frequented route and could appeal particularly to experienced trekkers who want to get off the beaten track for a while.

This trek is recommended for trekkers with limited time and includes the Aguelzim Pass (3560m) and Toubkal Summit.

This is a linear walk from Imlil to Setti Fatma with the option at the end of transfer back to Imlil or direct to Marrakech. It is ideal for less experienced trekkers with limited time who want to experience the Atlas mountains and Berber way of life – and who want to reduce the risk of altitude sickness.

This is a longer version of the 3 day trek to Setti Fatma from Imlil, slightly more demanding and with one high pass at 2920m.

This is recommended for inexperienced trekkers with limited time who want to experience the Berber way of life and the magnificent Atlas scenery without too demanding walking.

This 11 day trek through the High Atlas is ideal for experienced walkers who want the chance to get off the beaten track for some of the time. It combines demanding walking with spectacular scenery and an insight into the Berber way of life. There is an almost daily series of ascents and descents – 8 high mountain passes in total – half over 3000m and including Toubkal and Ouanoukrim, both over 4000m. In addition there is time for relaxation in the evenings while the meal is being prepared and, on the sixth day, an opportunity to swim in Lake Ifni, the only lake in the High Atlas.

This is a demanding, intensive climb – from Imlil (1740m) to the summit of Toubkal (4167m) and back in two days. Because there is little time to acclimatise, there is the risk of altitude sickness. However, it is a good option for those with very little time and a reasonable level of fitness.
