From Marrakech, head in the direction of Ouirgane – and Nfiss Valley and travel towards the Tifnoute Valley until Amsouzart – entry point to Toubkal National Park. On the road, you can see the impressive Tinmal mosque: …….
Continue your scenic drive along the Tifnoute Valley, which is a succession of small villages perched along the mountainside. you will stop at one of the villages to enjoy a delicious lunch.
After lunch we continue our journey to meet our support local team, we start our 2h30 sunset hike west of Amsouzart in a superb green valley dotted with small villages, which we explore as we make our way towards Ifni Lake, the only lake in the massif. It is a memorable sight, surrounded by Rocky Mountains and giant heaps of rubble, and is unusually deep. We expect to arrive by 5 pm and relax at the shore. We camp tonight in this area.
Today’s walking is about 6 hours, climbing up first to the Ounoums Pass (3600m) with more spectacular views over the Toubkal Massif. After our picnic at the top of the pass, we continue gently downhill to the Toubkal Refuge (3207m) where we will spend the night in the Toubkal refuge.
To enjoy the views from the summit (4167m) we set out early – around 5 am – for the 3-hour climb up to the summit, the highest point in North Africa. It is a steep climb with the possibility of snow still early in the season. The views from the summit are stunning, with views in all directions, to the Sahara in the south and looking down on the passes and peaks we have seen during our trek. We finally leave the summit and return to the refuge – a descent of about two hours. After our picnic lunch, there is time to relax or explore the area while our evening meal is prepared.
After breakfast, we start the long descent back to Imlil. As usual, we follow the old mule trails as they wend their way down the valley. At about lunchtime, we arrive at Sidi Chamarouch (2310m) where there is a shrine set into a large white-painted rock that attracts pilgrims from all over Morocco. The shrine is forbidden to non-Muslims but there are souvenir shops and cafes open to all! We continue down to Aroumd, an attractive village built on a rocky outcrop and surrounded by terraces with a rich variety of crops and fruit trees. Finally, we arrive back in Imlil where we will say goodbye to our mules and muleteers and where we transfer back to Marrakech.
