What This Trek Is

This is not the standard quick ascent from Imlil to the refuge and back again.

The Toubkal Trek via Lac d’Ifni is a proper High Atlas journey linking remote valleys, wild camps, high passes, and the summit of North Africa’s highest mountain.

Expect long days on foot, changing weather, cold mornings, exposed terrain, and nights camping beneath clear mountain skies.

This route is designed for people who want to experience Toubkal as an expedition rather than simply a summit tick.
