PrivateMount Toubkal Trek – 4 Days with Ouanakrim Peaks
About this tour
With three nights at the Toubkal Refuge, this trek gives you the best possible chance of reaching the top feeling strong. After walking up from Imlil, you spend day two climbing the Ouanakrim twin peaks – a superb acclimatisation day in its own right.
Summit day follows, with plenty of time to enjoy the views before returning to the refuge for a third night. Day four is a relaxed descent to Imlil. We especially recommend this itinerary between November and April.
