This 5-day Atlas Valleys and Mount Toubkal trek from Marrakech is designed for walkers who want to experience traditional Berber culture alongside a challenging mountain climb. The journey balances three days of trekking through inhabited valleys with a gradual ascent to the highest peak in North Africa. It is an ideal option if you want to acclimatise slowly, making the final push to the summit feel manageable and rewarding.
Your trek begins with a private transfer from your Marrakech hotel to Imlil, where you cross the Tizi Mzik pass into the Azzaden valley. You will spend your first days walking between terraced fields, walnut groves, and working hamlets, stopping for a village lunch. At night, you stay in family-run gites and eat home-cooked tagines prepared by your trek cook.
On the third day, you climb steadily via the Tizi n'Ouagane ridge to the Toubkal refuge at 3,207 metres. A pre-dawn start on day four takes you to the summit of Jbel Toubkal at 4,167 metres, before you descend to Aroumd for your final night. Your journey ends on day five with a walk back down to Imlil for lunch and your return transfer to Marrakech.
You will travel in a private or small group of up to twelve people, accompanied by a federation-licensed mountain guide. Mules and muleteers carry your main luggage, and a cook prepares all your meals during the trek. The guides speak English, French, Spanish, Berber, and Arabic, ensuring clear communication throughout your journey.
This route is rated as moderate to challenging, making it suitable for active hikers looking for their first multi-day trek in Morocco. The itinerary operates between March and November when the mountain trails are generally clear. You will need to bring broken-in hiking boots with ankle support, a warm insulating layer, and your own sleeping bag, though rentals are available.

Our treks and tours are led by a network of over 15 accredited guides who live and work in Morocco, most of them from the valleys around Imlil and Marrakech.
We have our own mountain-equipment rental shop in Imlil, so trekking and mountain gear is available to rent close to the start of many High Atlas routes. Rental is arranged separately and is never automatically included in a tour price.
Mules carry equipment on our High Atlas routes. We treat them as working partners whose care and condition are part of running a mountain trip properly.
We cooperate with SPANA's animal-welfare work in the Imlil area, which supports the working animals of the High Atlas.
