Max altitude
About 2,350 m at Sidi Chamharouch
This is the walk people mean when they say they want to see what the Toubkal route is like without committing to the mountain. From Imlil you follow the Mizane valley on the same trail the summit treks use, climbing steadily past Aroumd and the river bed to the hamlet and shrine of Sidi Chamharouch at roughly 2,350 m, then return to Imlil.
It is a full walking day rather than a stroll: sustained ascent on stony mule paths, high enough to feel the altitude, with the Toubkal massif ahead of you the whole way. No summit, no refuge night, no technical ground.
The price is for travellers who are already in the valley. There is no vehicle in it and no transfer from Marrakech, which is why it costs what it costs.

In Imlil village. You meet your guide in the village centre or at your guesthouse in the valley — there is no vehicle transfer in this product.
No. This hike is priced for travellers already staying in Imlil. If you are starting from the city, book one of our Marrakech-origin Imlil day trips instead, which include return transport.
Moderate. It is a steady ascent to about 2,350 m on stony mule paths with no technical ground. If you can walk uphill for several hours you can do it; tell us your fitness and the guide sets the pace.
It is an active place of pilgrimage for local people, and access is not open to every visitor. Your guide will tell you exactly where you can and cannot go, and we ask that you respect it.
Yes — it uses the first section of the same approach trail and takes you to roughly 2,350 m, so it is an honest indication of the terrain and how your body handles the height.
No. The price covers guiding only. Ask us in advance if you would like lunch arranged in the valley and we quote it separately.
Either. Private departures for your group are available, and so are small shared groups.
