At the airport of Marrkech, you meet up with ​one of our Local official guides from Bureau des guides imlil ​(official mountain guide)​.We continue our journey to the mountain village Imlil, where we get settled into the ​guest house. During the trip, information about the upcoming days’ events and activities will be handed out.

After an early wake-up and breakfast, we pack our luggage onto the mules and hike up to Refuge Toubkal (3,106 m) at the base of Jbel Toubkal. We eat lunch and then get informed about the local mountain environment, the routes for the next few days, safety considerations, etc. This is followed by a practical run through of our avalanche equipment. We will overnight the next few nights in the refuge, where we also eat breakfast and dinner. We take lunch with us onto the mountain.

In the morning, we put on skis and climbing skins (ski touring) or crampons (alpine touring) for a ski tour of Ouanoukrim (4,089 m), and Jbel Toubkel and other nearby peaks of about 3,700 to 4,100 m. The area offers both steep couloir skiing and open fields, and we choose our descents as per the group’s wishes and nature’s conditions.

An early descent to Imlil, some repacking and then we continue our journey towards Marrakech. We visit the bathhouses, called hammam, and some light city orienteering in medinan, the old innertown. We eat a wonderful dinner that evening.

We take the transfer to the airport and can glance back at the High Atlas Mountains with joy. If you have choosen to continue the trip on you own you part here from the rest of the group.
