After a transfer to the picturesque village of Imlil , we begin our trek along the scenic Mizane Valley . The trail first passes through the village of Aremd, then leads to the sacred shrine of Sidi Chamarouch , a site visited by both pilgrims and tourists.
Continuing east, the route crosses the flood plains and follows mule tracks ascending into the high rocky cliffs above the valley. Along the way, we cross the river and gradually climb toward the Toubkal Refuge (3,206 m ), following a steady path that snakes and zigzags up to the snowline.
Here, we spend the night in the Toubkal Refuge dormitories , surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery. Dinner is served at the refuge, providing a chance to rest and prepare for the summit climb the next day.
