Mount Toubkal 2-Day Trekking Trip from Marrakech

Don’t hesitate to join this 2-day excursion to Mount Toubkal from Marrakech, 60 kilometres from the mountain. You’ll go trekking and traverse mountainous landscapes, as well as climbing Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in Morocco and the whole of North Africa. The Sidi Chamharouch Shrine and the Imlil Valley are just some of the iconic sights you’ll see during the trek.

The experience includes a professional guide, who will accompany you throughout the trip, as well as accommodation, breakfasts, lunches and dinners. You’ll be provided with return transport to and from your hotel, as well as a pack mule service. To ensure you get the most out of the experience, this adventure is private, meaning only your group will be taking part.

Situated within Toubkal National Park, this peak is covered in snow almost all year round, creating a stark contrast to many other desert areas of the country. At over 4,000 metres, the mountain has two mountain huts near the summit and several routes for the ascent, one starting from the village of Imlil and another passing by Lake Ifni.

The Shrine of Sidi Chamharouch, which you’ll pass by, was once a famous site known for curing infertility in women and rheumatism. Although it is simply a white rock painted white, this area constantly attracts pilgrims, tourists and mountaineers due to its sacred aura and the myths that have grown up around it.

Then there is Imlil, a village at an altitude of over 1,700 metres, situated in the heart of the Atlas Mountains. This small settlement exudes a special charm with its steep, narrow streets, as well as being one of the starting points for the ascent to the summit of Toubkal.
