Meet the rest of the team at the airport for the long-awaited departure to Marrakech.

Day 2, Wed 24 Nov 2021

Aremd to Toubkal Refuge, 3,200m (approx. 5-6hrs)

After breakfast you'll set off along the Ait Mizane valley. It’s a gradual climb to the Shrine of Sidi Chamharouch.  Soon, the first high peaks emerge in the distance and once you reach the snow, the group will be shown how to use crampons and ice axes for the onward trek to a glacial valley. (B,L,D)

Accommodation: Mountain refuge

Day 3, Thu 25 Nov 2021

Toubkal Refuge to Ouanoukrim, 4089m (approx. 8hrs)

This morning, weather depending, you'll set off to summit Ouanoukrim (4,089m). The trek starts from the Assif n Isseguane valley to the pass of Tizi Ouagane, then follows the ridge to Ras Ouanoukrim (4,070m) on to Timezguida (4,089m). On this more technical climb, with your heart pumping, you scramble to the top where you take in the awe-inspiring sight of all you’ve achieved before heading back down to the refuge. (B,L,D)

Accommodation: Mountain refuge

The route continues along the ridge to the summit with great views overlooking both the southern Atlas mountain range and the Marrakech plain to the north. (B,L,D)

Important information

B = Breakfast; L = Lunch; D = Dinner

The itinerary is there as a guide and may change due to unusual weather patterns, wildlife movements, the strength of the group, and other unpredictable factors. We will do our very best to keep to the set itinerary; however we cannot be held responsible for any last minute changes that may occur. In all such circumstances, your expedition leader will have the final say.

Should you suffer from vertigo, it is worth considering that on most mountain treks there will be occasional exposure to sheer drops. You should, therefore, discuss the particular itinerary of your choice with a member of our team.
