Expedition Overview

The sensible and scenic 3-day Toubkal route. Taking you out of the busy Imlil Valley into the quiet majesty of the Azzaden Valley (known locally as the Valley of Colour), this trek passes the year-round cascade of Ighouliden, crosses the spectacular Aguelzim Pass (3,560m) for optimal altitude acclimatization, and summits Toubkal at sunrise before descending through Sidi Chamarouch.

Tour Highlights

• Far superior altitude acclimatization compared to the standard 2-day route • Hike the peaceful Azzaden Valley past red clay Berber hamlets and walnut terraces • Visit the spectacular D'Irhoulidene / Ighouliden waterfall • Cross the high Aguelzim pass (3,560m) with panoramic views across the Atlas range • Summit Mount Toubkal (4,167m) at dawn • Stay 1 night in a Berber gîte / refuge and 1 night at the Toubkal Basecamp Refuge
