Itinerary
Day 1:
Your private driver will pick you up from your accommodation in Marrakech and bring you to our office in Imlil, which is 65 km away. Upon arrival around 9:30 a.m., you'll meet one of our excellent guides who will introduce you to our local office/mountaineering gear shop and make sure you're all set for the hike.
The trek begins at about 10:30 a.m, and After 1.5 to 2 hours hiking, you'll reach Sidi Chamharouch (2,400 m), a small pilgrimage site where you'll stop for lunch.
After lunch, continue the hike for 3 more hours until you arrive at the Toubkal Refuge (3,200 m), where you'll have dinner after a warm tea with some sweets which will be definitely needed, and before going bed to get some rest for the summit day.
Day 2:
Wake up early at around 4:00 a.m. for breakfast before starting the ascent to the summit with your guide. The climb takes about 3.5 hours to reach the top of Mount Toubkal (4,167 m), these latter you won't feel with our excited and professional team. Enjoy the incredible panoramic views and take your time for photos.
Afterwards, descend back to the refuge for a well needed, tasty lunch and some rest before continuing down to Imlil, arriving between 2:00 and 4:00 p.m. our driver will then take you back to your accommodation in Marrakech.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the 2-day Toubkal trek organized by Atlas Toubkal Trek?
After you book, we take care of everything from your hotel, airport, or riad until you return to Marrakech. This includes private transport, equipment from our office, experienced local guides, a cook, all meals, and refuge accommodation. We handle every detail so you can focus on the mountain experience.
What fitness level is required for the 2-day Toubkal trek?
You should have good cardiovascular fitness and be comfortable hiking for 5-6 hours on steep terrain. No technical climbing skills are needed, but regular cardio exercise (running, cycling, hiking) is recommended. Our guides can advise on personalized training.
Can I get altitude sickness on Mount Toubkal?
Altitude sickness is possible above 3,000m though it is rare. Symptoms include headache, nausea, and fatigue. To minimize risk: stay hydrated, avoid alcohol, eat carbs, and rest well. Our guides are trained in altitude awareness and will monitor you. In a bad case and if symptoms persist, we descend immediately. Most trekkers adapt well with proper preparation.
What accommodation is available at Toubkal Refuge?
Toubkal Refuge is a basic mountain shelter with dormitory-style beds, blankets, and wood heating in winter. Conditions are simple but comfortable—shared dorms with 8-16 people per room. There are basic washroom facilities and communal dining. A headlamp and earplugs are recommended for sleeping comfortably.
What should I pack for a 2-day Toubkal trek?
Essentials: waterproof jacket, warm layers (fleece/down), sturdy hiking boots (broken in) or light ones for summer, hat, gloves, sunscreen, sun hat, water bottle (1L), snacks, headlamp , toiletries, medications if possible. Do not pack: heavy items (we provide mule for luggage if the group exceeds 4 people), , shorts (legs get cold at altitude).
When is the best time to climb Mount Toubkal?
Best seasons: June–September (summer) for stable weather and safe conditions. July–August see peak crowds, while September–October offers fewer trekkers and excellent visibility.

Do I need previous trekking experience?

Mental determination and reasonable fitness matter more than experience. We offer pre-trek training advice and acclimatization strategies for beginners, however, people with heart conditions should consult their doctor before trekking.
How much water and food will I have on the trek?
Lunch is provided Day 1 at Sidi Chamharouch, and dinner/breakfast at the refuge. Day 2 includes breakfast, summit energy snacks, and lunch post-descent in the refuge. Pack 2–3 energy bars, electrolyte tabs, and nuts . Water is available at the refuge and Sidi Chamharouch to buy; carry a refillable bottle.
Is the 2-day Toubkal trek safe?
Yes—hundreds of trekkers summit Toubkal safely each year with professional guides. We follow strict safety protocols: experienced guides, acclimatization strategy, group pacing, and weather monitoring.
What is the success rate for reaching Mount Toubkal summit?
Success rate is approximately 85–90% with Atlas Toubkal Trek. Most who don't summit experience altitude sickness or unexpected fatigue. Our flexible approach prioritizes safety—if you feel unwell, we descend you, which is not a failure but responsible trekking. With proper preparation and our support, success is very likely.
What happens if I don't reach the summit?
We try all solutions to help you make it to the summit, but when it is somethin surious, your safety and well-being come first. If altitude sickness or fatigue prevents summit, you descend safely with one of your guides. No refund is offered, but you'll experience Toubkal at high altitude and the refuge environment. Many trekkers attempt again later with better acclimatization. We can discuss rescheduling options.
