2 Days 1 Night Hike Mount Toubkal Tour, Atlas Mountains

I fitted in this overnight hike to the summit of mount Toubkal as part of my 1-week visit to Marrakech and I'm very glad I did. Comfortable hotel transfers to/from Imlil (1,800 meters), made things very easy. I highly recommend Toubkal Hiking, Radouane is an excellent guide and a lovely person to spend time with. Pick up was round 8am, it takes around 90mins to reach Imlil and then after a kit check (Radouane will provide you a list ahead of time-there's nothing on that list that you don't need) and bathroom stop, we were off. We went at a decent pace (my choice), it took us around 4hrs to reach the refuge (3,200meters). Don't carry huge amounts of water, there are more little mountain stalls than I've ever seen anywhere else and you can refuel all the way up. The refuge was more comfortable than anywhere I've experienced in many years of hiking in various places. It was not super busy so those in my room were able to spread out in the bunks which apparently are often pretty packed. There are showers with hot water available, the food is good and there's a little shop where you can buy snacks, drinks etc. Take toilet paper with you if you prefer a western style experience, you can always buy it in the shop if you forget. We set off for the summit around 4am and it took us about 2.5hours to get there and enjoy a beautiful sunrise. We spent plenty of time at the summit to take pics, have a quick snack etc and then Radouane & some fellow guides collected up a disappointing amount of rubbish that tourists had left behind up there and we carried down several bags full with us to the refuge. I left everything I didn't need for the summit at the refuge, I collected this when we returned, we had a quick cup of tea and then we set off to begin to make our way down the mountain again. It was probably around 9.30am when we left. We stopped for brunch/lunch at one of the mountain shops on the way down. The food was delicious. As a vegetarian I had no trouble with food at any time during my hike. We arrived back at Imlil a few hours later and I was lucky enough to have time to take a short detour and to sit and enjoy a cold bottle of coke with Radouane at the picturesque Imlil waterfalls. A real treat to end the trek on. I plan to return for the longer 3 or 6 day trek through more of the Atlas range in the future. I will not hesitate to recommend Radouane to you for any kind of hiking, cycling or even ski touring (check out his Insta: @radouane_outdoor)

Made it to the summit. It was a great journey, Toubkal was still covered in ice so a little tougher than I was expecting. Refuge was warm, decent food, and provided warm blankets.

We summited with thanks to our guide Mohammed Mansouri, timing our summit perfectly for sunrise. He was an amazing guide and made it an experience we shall never forget, he even gifted us his chocolate bar at the top when we said we were hungry. Top tip: bring lots of snacks but if you’re with Mohammed you’re guaranteed a great hike no matter what! - Olivia and Hazel:)

We did the overnight trek to Toubkal and it went great. Radouane was very communicative in planning, and our guide Yassine was wonderful. Highly recommend.

With a group of five we did a three-day hike from Imlil centre to the summit of Toubkal via Tizi n'Mzik and Tizi Aguelzim. We were accompanied by our amazing guide Radouane and sometimes by our cook Omar. We really enjoyed the breathtaking views and the delicious food. While hiking, our guide Radouane told us about the Berber culture, the local wildlife, and even sang traditional songs for us. It truly was a magical experience.

Radouane was an amazing guide — smart, knowledgeable, and very friendly. He taught us a lot about Toubkal and Moroccan culture, and was always kind and supportive during the hike.

The hike up Toubkal was a great experience for me, my brother and our father. Sayed adapted to our pace, as our father repeatedly needed breathers, especially on the second day. The first day is a leisurely hike. It was hot at the beginning, but at the base camp the wind refreshed with only 10°C. On the way up there is about 1x an hour an opportunity to buy drinks and snacks. After Base Camp, however, there is nothing left. You should take enough water for the summit. Base Camp is amazingly well equipped. We slept with 25 people in a mattress warehouse. Showers, toilets, hot meals, everything there. 3:00 wake up call. After breakfast, we head to the summit in absolute darkness. Headlamp absolutely necessary! Descent in sunlight was much easier 😊 By lunchtime we were already quite far down and strengthened ourselves with a tajine and tea. The second day was a bit more challenging, but with a certain basic fitness also for our 70-year-old father.

World class guide; knowledgeable, fit and experienced. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for an action packed couple of days with breathtaking views.

Our guide, Radouane, was perfect. The experience was magical! The course is affordable, if you're a little athletic.

My friend and I went on a two-day hiking trip to Tokual with Radoune. He was very helpful, attentive, and funny. He adjusted to our pace and shared his gear whenever we needed something. We really enjoyed the trip and highly recommend it. Tina & Jasmin
