Day 4: Mount Toubkal Ascent(4167 m)

Today we will rise early to start the ascent to Mount Toubkal. We will climb via the western flank. About an hour below the summit, we enjoy our first views of the south. Reaching the top of Mount Toubkal will be the highlight of the trip! We will enjoy the impressive view. We descend by the same route and will be back to the refuge to enjoy a late lunch. Dinner and stay will be in the refuge.

Day 5: Mount Ouanoukrim (4089m)

Today will be the heading for the second highest mountain of North Africa: Mount Ouanoukrim. We will need to scramble to get us to the summit plateau. This will be easy, but a little exposed in some places so Hassan will set up a rope where needed (about 100 meters). We will also cross the summit plateau to the Timzguida summit at 4089m. We will have dinner and stay in our refuge.

Day 6: Tizi Ouanoums (3684 m)

Today we head for Tizi Ouanoums, jammed in a steep gorge on the side of Toubkal. From here we look down the steep southerly face to Lac D’Ifni. Afterward, we return and we will drive back to Marrakech.
