Settle in and scan the scenery from the convenience of a private vehicle.
High Atlas Trek: Tizi ‘n Tacht
Wind your way up past cornfields and woods of juniper and pine to the Tizi N'Tacht pass (2000m/ 1243 ft). Be sure to stop and admire the views back down to Imlil and the Ait Oussaden valley.

Accommodation
Gite - Tizi Oussem
Today is a full day of walking through villages on the northern slopes of Mt Toubkal. We stay in another village gite for the night.
Mount Toubkal Trek
Eat a good breakfast because this is a full day of walking that takes us through the villages of this grand valley to high passes with stunning views. Trek over the Tizi N'Tizikert pass (2,930m/9613 ft) and be rewarded with magnificent views over the Mt Toubkal summit, the Tazaghart Pass, and the peak of Taddat (3,800m/12,467 ft). Once refreshed, descend to Armed (1,900m/6,234 ft)).
Accommodation
Auberge Tafraout Armed
Ascend the beautiful Mizane Valley, passing the shrine of Sidi Chamharouch, before arriving at our Mt Toubkal base camp. Time permitting, enjoy either a 2-hour optional climb to the summit of Ouanoums (3,650m/11,975 ft) or simply relax at base camp for the night.
Mizane Valley Trek
Ascend the beautiful Mizane Valley via the pilgrimage hamlet of Sidi Chamharouch, with the shrine of a marabout (please note that only Muslims may cross the bridge to visit the shrine). From here our trail continues to zigzag steadily upwards to reach the Mt Toubkal base camp. Time permitting, we can either enjoy a 2-hr optional climb to the summit of Ouanoums (3,650m/11,975 ft) or simply relax at our base camp for the night. Tonight we camp in two-person tents near the busy Mt Toubkal refuges, located at an altitude of 3,207m/10,522 ft.
Accommodation
Toubkal Refuge Camp
Savour the satisfaction of the ascent and the spectacular views across the valleys below when summitting the 4,167m (13,671 ft) Mt Toubkal today. Return to base camp for the night.
Mt Toubkal Summit
Set your alarm early for the start of this challenging trek to the summit of Mt Toubkal. The route ascends through scree fields, over boulders and rocks. The hiking is not too difficult, but the effect of the altitude can make this trek tougher. Take your time, drink lots of water, and rest along the way. Your reward? Once up and over the ridge, the views from the summit and downwards are spectacular! Elevation: Mt Toubkal Base Camp (3207m) - Mt Toubkal summit (4167m)
Accommodation
Toubkal Refuge Camp
Descend to the village of Imlil before travelling back to Marrakech for a free afternoon. Take advantage of a few hours in the early evening to explore this wonderful city - perhaps for some serious bargaining for souvenirs.
Imlil Trek
The 4-5 hr descent back to Imlil takes a route via Sidi Chamharouch, a small settlement on the side of the mountain. Cross a stream and continue to descend down towards Aroumd (Aremd) and on to Imlil.
Private Vehicle
Settle in and scan the scenery from the convenience of a private vehicle.
Free Time
Enjoy wandering in the souks, sipping mint tea or just kicking back and enjoying this great city.
