ItineraryDay 1Day One: MARRAKECH-IMLIL-TACHEDDIRTWe leave Marrakech After breakfast then drive to Imlil valley via Asni. Imlilis themain trail for hikers, and a bustling market town. There is a constant movement ofpeople coming down the mountain, and an equal distribution of the activity of thosewho are about to embark on the adventure. We meet our team and once all ourequipment is loaded, we start walking along the valley towards Tacheddirt some 8kmsbeyond Imlil. Soon, the trail begins to increase as we climb to Tizi N’Tamatert(2279m). We then descend the pretty village of Ouaneskra and continue for anotherhalf-hour, Tacheddirt (3000m), where we usually camp near the river.Day Two: TACHEDDIRT-AZIB LIKEMTCrossing the valley, we begin a long, slow climb to Tizi Likemt (3555m). The courseis quite difficult because there is a considerable amount of debris on the ground. At thetop, we enjoy our first view of the well Toubkal before a long descent down to thevillage of Azib Likemt, where we camp for the night.Day Three: AZIB LIKEMT-TIZI N’OURAI-AMSOUZERTThis long but relatively easy day takes us through a variety ofcontrasting landscapes.Of Tizi Ououraine (3120m) we enjoy other views Toubkal, the top face is Ifni and theDome (3876m). The trail leads to Amsouzert, one of the most striking villages in theregion, where we spend the night-dormitories-Cottage in asimple village.Day Four: AMSOUZERT-IFNI LACWest Amsouzert are several small villages, we are exploring as we make our way toLake Ifni, the only lake in the mountains. This is an unforgettable sight, surrounded byRocky Mountains and giant piles of rubble, and it is unusually deep. We expect toarrive before noon and spend the afternoon relaxing at the beach. Evening we camp inthis area.Day Five: LAC IFNI-TOUBKAL REFUGEBy now we should be both good and conditioned and ready to face the most difficultday of the trek. We make our way along a steep path that leads talus seeminglyendless. Finally we reach the Tizi n’Ouanoums (3664m), a narrow ledge of rockbetween two trees. From there it is a long zigzag descent to Nelter Hut, a mountain hutwhere wespend the night (or alternatively outside the camp).Day Six: REFUGE–TOUBKAL ASCENT-IMLILWe leave before dawn, following a well-worn route to the summit. If the conditionsare right it should not take more than 2-3 hours to reach the summit.
