Djebel Toubkal, a soaring peak stretching 4,167 metres into the Moroccan sky. Climbing this iconic mountain has long been a goal of mine, I first heard of it watching a Canadian travel tv show called Departures that became one of my favourite shows of all time. I love hiking and have always wanted to get into the world of trekking, and Toubkal is a challenging multi day trek that isn’t too technical from a climbing standpoint. A perfect place to start for someone like me.
I had the privilege of being led up this mountain by my extremely friendly and knowledgeable guide named Hamid. He kept up a fast pace for myself and the two other climbers that joined me, a couple of top notch gentlemen who made the climb so much better with friendly banter and good stories. In this video, I start in the town of Imlil, before making my way up through the valley to the refuge where hikers spend their night before the final push to Toubkal’s summit. Don’t worry everyone, this is only Part 1 of my two day trek! Part 2 coming shortly…

Loved the vlog!
Hi Finn, hope everythins is going very well! We did that hike (except for the mountain peak) in 2004: we were a bunch of teachers (4) at the elementary school (my school was located in the first village after going down the valley from the other side of Djebel Toubkal & close to "Ifni lake" which you have definitely seen or gotten close to) and we decided all of a sudden to do that hike wich strated at Ait-Igrane (the first village at the other side of Toubkal and where my school was lacated), up to "Ifni lake"…We then climbed the mountain pass up to the refuge where you slept (we had lunch there at around 3 pm) and, from there, we walked down to Imlil, took a taxi which brough us straight to Marrakech….We got there around 8 pm where we had supper (we had some nice brochettes with salad, olives, bread and, of course, mint tea!) and enjoyed ourselves in Jamaa El-Fna until midnight (between story tellers, juice sellers, snake charmers, belly dancers, you can not get bored…!) when we had to take a minibus which brought us back to wehere we started the day before through "Tizi-Ntasset gorges" (very tight and sinuous road), Aoulouz, Ouziwa, Iguidi and then Amsouzart (an hour and a half walk from the lake aforementioned)….We were exhausted (24 hours roundtrip), I mean completely shot, in a desperate need of a shower and rest, but it was completely worth it!

In Morocco u need to pay more money to have a better trip ,good hostels and to visit amazing places and of course u need a partner to guide you if it your firs time. Specially in Miroccan Sahara, Marrakech and Fes.
