Day 3

Trek to summit of Jebel Toubkal(4165m); return to Imlil

Early this morning we make our attempt on the summit of Jebel Toukbal, the

highest peak in Northern Africa. Our route takes us up the south cirque,

crossing the stream above the refuge and then heading across one of the

mountains numerous scree fields, where we will have to negotiable a seemingly

endless carpet of boulders and rocks. The walking is relatively straightforward,

but the scree and the altitude will make the going quite difficult in parts,

however, the views along the way make the journey more than worthwhile. Cresting

the ridgeline we find ourselves on the plateau, from where it is a short walk to

the summit and the vistas out across the surrounding landscape are quite

breathtaking. From here there are unrestricted views in every direction, from

the Marrakesh Plain to the High Atlas in the north and as far south as the

Anti-Atlas and the Sahara. Pliny, the great Roman scholar, once described the

High Atlas Mountains as "the most fabulous mountains in all of Africa" and from

our vantage point high above the valley it is easy to understand why. Retracing

our steps we then return down the mountain and head back towards Imlil where we will spend the night amongst the Berbers, staying in a traditional village

house.

Day 2. Imlil and trek to Toubkal Refuge via Aremd & the Mizane Valley

Leaving the city behind we drive south today, towards the craggy peaks and

plunging valleys of the Toubkal Massif. Crossing the Haouz Plain we pass through

the tiny town of Asni, from where our road begins to climb towards the foothills

of the Massif. Below us the valley of the Oued Rhirhaia stretches out into the

distance and small villages cling to the sides of the steep hills as we meander

our way towards the village of Imlil. Here we leave our vehicle and, in the

company of our mountain guide, begin our trek, heading along the Mizane Valley,

first towards the village of Aremd and then onto the shrine of Sidi Chamarouch.

Built on a moraine spur overlooking the valley floor, Aremd is the largest

village in the valley and provides an interesting mix of traditional terraced

farming, gites and streets that seem to be permanently gridlocked by goats and

cattle. For generations the local Berber villagers have worked these lands,

producing corn, potatoes and walnuts from the harsh landscape. Continuing east

and crossing the flood plain our route takes us along mule tracks and up into

the high rocky cliffs above the valley. Crossing the river we eventually come to

the pastoral shrine of Sidi Chamarouch, which attracts tourists and pilgrims

alike (although only Muslims are allowed to cross the stone bridge to visit the

marabout shrine itself). The village sits besides a small waterfall, a jumbled

cluster of houses that seem to melt together into an anarchic mass. From here

the trail continues to climb steadily, snaking and zigzagging its way up to the

snowline and the Toukbal Refuge (3206m), our stop for the night. Approx 4-5hrs

walking.

Summary The Toubkal Mountain ascent is the most popular walk in the High Atlas. The views are magnificent. The route is straightforward and, outside winter and spring, usually easily achieved without mountaineering experience or a guide. However, it should not be taken lightly as the trek up the scree slope is hard, trekkers can be struck down with altitude sickness and the mountain’s climate can be extreme: there can be snow even in June but Toubkal Mountain ascent worth it.
