You wake before dawn in a small guest house in Imlil; the air is sharp, the first light sliding over terraces and walnut trees. Mules load quietly outside while your guide checks the route — the track ahead climbs from green valleys into wind-scoured scree, the massif of Toubkal looming like a challenge kept for those willing to earn it. Rivers dare you across stepped fords, and the wind pushes you forward as if impatient for the summit.

Acclimatize in Imlil

Start the summit early
Summit attempts begin around 4:00 AM to avoid afternoon winds and to give you stable footing on loose scree.

Give space to mule teams and follow guide instructions when passing animals on narrow trails.
Sturdy hiking boots
Support and grip for rocky trails and scree sections above 3,000 m.
Insulating midlayer and wind shell
Layering handles cold winds on the ridge and warm sun in the valleys.
Trekking poles
Reduce joint strain and improve balance on steep ascents and descents.
Headlamp with extra batteries
