THE TRIP DAY FOR DAY

Day 1. Marrakech, Morocco – Imlil

At the airport of Marrkech, you meet up with Pathfinder Travels’ leader/mountain guide. We continue our journey to the mountain village Imlil, where we get settled into the hostel of our friend Slimane. During the trip, information about the upcoming days’ events and activities will be handed out.

Day 2. Imlil – Refuge Toubkal

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.

Day 3 – 6. Ski touring

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.

Day 7. Imlil – Marrakech

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.

Day 8. Departure
