Radouane

Guided trip
Hi everyone, I’m Radouane I was born and grew up in a small valley in the high Atlas Mountains called Imlil. Imlil makes a good base for attempting to the summit of Toubkal, the highest peak in the north of Africa. I’m a mountain guide here in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, I love to guide people from different countries in the world with different cultures and sharing with them everything I know about my country and helping them to discover it and sharing our culture and life and much more… Join me for this amazing trip to the highest peak in the north of Africa!! 🗺️ Let me talk to you over the itinerary DAY ONE: MARRAKECH – IMLIL 1700M – TOUBKAL REFUGE 3207M After breakfast, we have 1h 30 drives to Imlil village, and we will begin the trek. Heading along the Ait Mizane Valley, we first pass Aremd village and then into the shrine of Sidi Chamarouch. We then continue east and by crossing the flood plains our route take us along mule tracks and up into the high rocky cliffs above the valley crossing the river we eventually come to the pastoral shrine of Sidi Chamarouch, which attracts tourists and pilgrims. From here the trail continues to climb steadily, snaking and zigzagging its way up to the snowline in (in winter) and the Toukbal Refuge (3207m), our stop for the night, Approx 4 to 5hrs walking. Height difference, 1507m between Imlil and Toubkal hut. DAY TWO: TOUBKAL REFUGE 3207M – MOUNT TOUBKAL PEAK 4167M – REFUGE – IMLIL – MARRAKECH Early in the morning we make our attempt on the summit of Jebel Toukbal, the highest peak in Northern Africa. Our route takes us up the south cirque, crossing the stream above the refuge. The walking is relatively straightforward, but the screen and the altitude will make the going quite difficult in parts. The views along the way make the journey more than worthwhile. When you reach the summit, you will see that the vistas across the surrounding landscape are quite breathtaking. From here there are unrestricted views in every direction, from the Marrakesh Plain to the High Atlas in the north and as far south as the Anti-Atlas and the Sahara. We will retrace our steps when we return down to the refuge, have lunch and then head back towards Imlil. 9 to 10 hours walk. Height difference is 960m between refuge and Toubkal peak.
