Transfer from the airport to your hotel in Marrakech
Day 2
Marrakech – Imlil 1740m – Tachdirt 2300m
⦁ You will be driven from Marrakech to Imlil, where your trekking team will meet you. After introductions and a cup or two of refreshing Berber tea, you will trek from 1740m to Tizi n’Tamatert at 2280m; the journey will take about 2½ hours. At the top of the pass, you will be served lunch overlooking the stunning Imnan Valley. The walk then continues to Ounskra (2200m), where, after 5 hours in all, you will spend the night.
Day 3
Tachdirt 2300m – Tizi N’likemt 3600m – Azib Likemt
After a sumptuous breakfast, you will continue to Tizi n’Likmet (3600m), with views of both the Imnan and Aouray Valleys. From there, it’s on to Azib Likmet, where you will camp—there are no guest houses here. Hopefully, the sky will be clear during the night, so you can stargaze to your heart’s content.
Day 4
Azib Likemt – Amsouzazrt 1800m
⦁ After breakfast, we will go to Aouray Valley in order to reach Amsouzart to spend the night in a gîte. This is your chance to get some rest and see the Berber villages, coming back in time to drink tea before dinner.
Approx 6 hours of walking
Day 5
Amsouzart 1800m – Ifni lac
⦁ We walk from Amsouzart to Lake Ifni, which is truly beautiful, situated in the midst of the rocky mountains and giant rock outcrops. Swimming is fine, though you are not encouraged to go to the middle of the lake, as it is very deep. We camp again for the night.
Approx 4 hours of walking
Day 6
Ifni Lac – Tizi Ounoums 3600m – Toubkal Refuge 3207m
Breakfast is followed by a walk to Tizi Ounoms (3600m) and descending from there to the Toubkal refuge for the last night. Dinner here will be early so that you can go to bed early in preparation for the long day tomorrow.
Approx 6 hours of walking
Day 7
Toubkal Refuge – Toubkal summit 4167m – Imlil – Marrakech
⦁ After an early warm breakfast, you will climb to the summit of Toubkal at 4167m. It will be worth it – you will have the spread of both the High Atlas Mountains and the Sahara desert in front of you. We will return to the refuge for lunch, and head down to the Imlil starting point, from where you will be driven back to Marrakech.
