Questions about this trip
Can we climb Toubkal on this day trip?
No. The summit is a two-day climb with a night at the refuge, at about 3,200 m. We can drive you to Imlil on day one and collect you after you come down.
Do we have to hire a guide in Imlil?
For a valley walk it is strongly advised, and the guides know the paths between the villages. You pay them directly, about 200–300 MAD.
