Day 1: Marrakech – Imlil (1,775 m.) – Refuge (3,207 m.)

Commence your day with a nourishing breakfast at the Riad
before embarking on a journey to Imlil. Upon arrival, our team of experienced
guides, muleteers, and dedicated cooks will greet you. Together with our
knowledgeable guide, you’ll traverse the picturesque mule trails, beginning
from the quaint village of Armed nestled at 1850 meters, ascending towards the
revered Marabout Sidi Chamharouch at 2350 meters.

This spiritual sanctuary, often frequented by pilgrims
seeking solace from afflictions, holds historical significance as the
“Sultan of the Devil.” Here, amidst this tranquil setting, indulge in
a delectable lunch meticulously prepared by our seasoned chef.

Continuing our ascent, be captivated by the awe-inspiring
vistas of the Atlas Mountains. Pause along the way to partake in the cherished
tradition of sipping on traditional tea at Imi n’Tifrite. As the journey
unfolds, behold the rugged beauty of the landscape, passing by the corrals of
Isgan n’Wagouts, before reaching our ultimate destination – the Neltner Refuge
of the Alpino Frances Club, nestled at an impressive altitude of 3207 meters.

Here, amidst the serene mountainous expanse, we offer accommodation
in private rooms for a restful night’s stay, allowing you to immerse yourself
fully in the tranquility and grandeur of the Atlas Mountains.

Day 2: Ascent to Toubkal (4,167 m.) – Refuge (3,207 m.) – Imlil (1,775 m.) – Marrakech

Kickstart your day with an early breakfast, preparing you
for an invigorating adventure ahead. Embark on a scenic 3-hour hike towards the
summit of Jebel Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa standing tall at 4167
meters. Depending on the season, your journey may lead across picturesque
snowfields, adding a touch of enchantment to your ascent.

After approximately 2 hours of trekking, you’ll reach a
ridge offering a breathtaking panoramic vista of the surrounding landscape,
providing a glimpse of the awe-inspiring beauty that awaits. Continuing along
the ridge, you’ll ascend further, steadily approaching the summit. Upon
reaching the pinnacle, be prepared to be mesmerized by the vast expanse of the
Atlas Mountains stretching before you. On clear days, the majestic silhouettes
of neighboring peaks such as Jebel Siroua (3300m) and Jebel Ouankrim (4083m)
grace the horizon, enhancing the splendor of your journey.

Take a moment to relish the accomplishment, capturing
memories with plenty of photos while catching your breath amidst the pristine
mountain air. Following a short rejuvenating break, begin your descent back to
the refuge, where a sumptuous and hearty lunch awaits, skillfully prepared by
our talented cook.

Replenished and rejuvenated, retrace your steps back to
Imlil, soaking in the serene beauty of the Atlas Mountains one last time.
Conclude your Toubkal trekking adventure with a scenic drive back to Marrakech,
filled with memories of an unforgettable journey amidst the majestic peaks of
North Africa.
