The adventure begins with a 1.5-hour drive from Marrakech to the village of Imlil (1,740 m), where you'll meet your guide and porters. From here, you start your trek, winding through Berber villages, terraced fields, and along the Azzaden Valley. After a few hours of steady uphill walking, you'll stop for lunch at Sidi Chamharouch (2,350 m), a sacred site for local pilgrims. In the afternoon, you'll continue the ascent for another 3–4 hours to reach the Toubkal Refuge (3,207 m), where you'll settle in for the night. Dinner is served at the refuge, and you’ll rest up for the summit push the next morning.

On Day 2, you’ll begin the summit push early—typically around 4:00 AM—to make the most of the cooler morning temperatures and catch the sunrise from the top. The final ascent to Mount Toubkal (4,167 m) is steep but manageable, and after about 3–4 hours, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the High Atlas mountains. After some time at the summit, you’ll descend back to the refuge for a quick rest, then continue your descent to Imlil. The total descent takes 6–7 hours, and upon reaching Imlil, you’ll drive back to Marrakech, arriving in the late afternoon or early evening.
