6-Day Toubkal Summit Circuit via the Azzaden Valley
About this tour
The considered way to climb Toubkal. Instead of rushing, you spend the first days acclimatising through the Azzaden Valley and over high pasture before a long traverse to the Toubkal Refuge.
A dedicated acclimatisation day at the refuge sets up a dawn summit of Jbel Toubkal (4,167 m), followed by a long descent to Imlil. 65–70 km with about 2,800 m of ascent.
