Approximately . 7 hours of walking.

Today involves a fairly stiff climb out of the Azzadene Valley to the Toubkal Refuge, past the Ighouliden waterfalls, and over the Aguelzim Mountain pass at 3,560m. Lunch will be taken with spectacular views over the Atlas Mountain Range. Overnight in the Toubkal Refuge (Niltner Hut) at 3,200 m, where you’ll likely be sharing a bunk room with other trekkers tackling Toubkal early the next morning. Approximately . 7 hours of walking.

Up early for the climb up Toubkal (4,167m) from where clouds allow, you’ll have wonderful views over the Atlas Range and the Sahara Desert, then a long way back down past the refuge and the well-worn path back to Imlil.
