Day 1

Marrakesh – Oukaimden Ski Station 2700m - Tachdirt 2300m.

Your Atlas Mountains hiking tour begins with a pick-up in Marrakech and a scenic drive to Oukaimden (2700m).

This is where you have a chance to meet your experienced and knowledgeable local guide and muleteer before heading off into Toubkal National Park.

The trail leads you through the stunning Tizi N'Addi Pass (2900m), offering breathtaking views of the Tachdirt Valley. As you descend, you’ll make your way through a charming Berber village, where you'll rest on the first night of your Atlas Mountains hiking tour at a cozy guesthouse.

Start your day with a warm breakfast; you’ll set out on day 2 of your hiking tours in Morocco's Atlas Mountains. You’ll explore a few Berber villages and a trek up to Tizi n'Tamatert Pass (2200m) as you bask in the glory of the views of Imlil Valley, where you will spend the night.

4–5 hours of walking

Day 3

Imlil — Tamsoult Refuge 2500m

Day 3 of hiking in the Atlas Mountains is where you head from Imlil Valley to Tamsoult Refuge.

You will ascend to Tizi Mzik (2400m) for vantage views of the Imlil and Azzaden Valleys. Enjoy a refreshing, delicious lunch beneath juniper trees at the pass, and then carry on for an hour till you reach Tamsoult Refuge, which is where you’ll spend the night.

Indulge in a hot shower before enjoying a delectable dinner prepared by our skilled cooks, and then enjoy the most restful sleep before another day of hiking in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains.

6 hours of walking

Day 4

Tamssoult Refuge – Toubkal Refuge 3200m

Today's ascent to Tizi Nglzim (3700m) promises breathtaking views of the High Atlas Mountains and Toubkal National Park. The climb, while challenging, is one of the most rewarding aspects of your Atlas Mountains hiking tours. Upon reaching the pass, we'll take a well-deserved break with a picnic lunch, savoring both the delicious food and the stunning scenery. As the day winds down, we’ll make our way to the beautiful Toubkal Refuge, our cozy hideout for the night.

Day 5

Toubkal Refuge 3200m – Toubkal Summit 4167m

Day 5 of the Atlas Mountain hiking tour is one of the most challenging parts of this adventure.

It’s the day you will attempt to summit Jebel Toubkal, the highest peak in Northern Africa, which stands at 4,167 m. This route takes us through the south cirque as we cross the beautiful stream above the refuge.

 

The trek is fairly simple, but the scree and the altitude are what make hiking in the Atlas Mountains challenging. The views along the way make this journey even more rewarding and fulfilling.

 

On reaching the summit, you will be enamored by the beautiful vistas surrounding you. Enjoy untainted views in every direction, from the Marrakesh Plain to the High Atlas in the north and as far south as the Anti-Atlas and the Sahara.

 

We’ll then make our way back down the same path, heading to the Toubkal Refuge, where you’ll stay for the second night in a row.

6–7 hours of walking

Day 6

Toubkal Refuge – Imlil-Marrakesh

On the final day of your Atlas Mountains hiking tour, you’ll make your way back from the Toubkal Refuge to Imlil. Following that we’ll be sure to transfer you from Imlil to Marrakech and head back any time you like. You can even choose to stay back and explore Morocco on your own terms.
