Mount Toubkal is the highest mountain in North Africa and one of the most popular trekking adventures from Marrakech. Most travelers begin their Mount Toubkal trek from Marrakech before driving to Imlil, the main starting point for the climb.

How Far Is Mount Toubkal from Marrakech?

Mount Toubkal treks usually start from Imlil, a mountain village around 65 km from Marrakech. The drive from Marrakech to Imlil takes about 1.5 hours, passing through Berber villages and the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains.

Can You Start from Marrakech Airport?

Yes. Atlas Toubkal Trek can arrange pickup from Marrakech Menara Airport at any time, depending on your flight arrival. You can go directly from the airport to Imlil, rest before the trek, or start your adventure the next morning.

Where Does the Toubkal Trek Start?

The hike begins in our office in Imlil, where you meet your local guide, check your equipment, and prepare for the trail. If you need hiking boots, poles, warm layers, or winter equipment, we can help arrange that in our gear shop before the trek.

Which Toubkal Trek Should You Choose?

For strong hikers short on time, the 2-Day Mount Toubkal Trek from Marrakech is the classic option.

For a more relaxed pace, choose the 3-Day Toubkal Hike from Marrakech.

For a scenic route through valleys and waterfalls, the 3-Day Toubkal Trek via Tamsoult Refuge is one of the best choices.
