You'll reach Imlil village at 1740 m elevation and start your first walk with an easy trek along the hillside.

Aroumd to Toubkal Base Camp
Today you start climbing Mount Toubkal, North Africa's highest peak. From Aroumd, trek across the Ait Mizane Valley floodplain and then the terrain gets steep with zigzag switchbacks up the mountainside. Mules carry all the baggage. You'll pass Sidi Chamarouch, a pilgrimage site where only Muslims can enter the shrine. Snow appears as you climb higher through the valley's switchbacks, and your leader will help fit crampons if needed. Reach Toubkal Base Camp at Neltner (3207 m) and have dinner before resting up for the summit push tomorrow.

Mount Toubkal Summit
Start early and tackle rocky terrain to reach Mount Toubkal's summit. Put on crampons, grab your head torch with spare batteries, and hike across snowy and possibly icy ground. The slope gets steeper toward the col where winds often pick up, so bring your hard shell jacket. Keep climbing through the final section, likely with sunrise on your right. At 4167 m, you're standing on North Africa's roof. On clear days you can see across the entire Atlas range, the Atlantic coast to the west, and the Sahara to the east. After time at the top, head back down to Base Camp.

High Atlas Mountains Trek
Your leader decides today's trek based on conditions. If yesterday's summit attempt didn't work out, you might get another try at Toubkal. Otherwise, you could trek to Tizi n' Ouagane and possibly Ras Ouanoukrim, the third highest peak in Northern Africa. After descending to base camp, have a hearty lunch and then head back to Aroumd. Your local host welcomes you with a celebration dinner.
