## Toubkal Treks
- [Toubkal Summit Trek in 2 Days](https://toubkallocalguide.art/trip/toubkal-summit-2-days): 2 days, from Marrakech, from €165. The fastest way to stand on the roof of North Africa. You leave Marrakech in the morning, walk up the Mizane valley past the shrine of Sidi Chamharouch, sleep at the Toubkal refuge (3,207 m) and start the final push to 4,167 m before sunrise.
- [3-Day Toubkal Trek via Imlil](https://toubkallocalguide.art/trip/toubkal-trek-3-days-imlil): 3 days, from Marrakech, from €135. A gentler pace for the same summit: one extra night lets your body adapt to altitude, which noticeably raises the success rate for first-time high-altitude walkers.
- [4-Day Toubkal & Berber Villages Trek](https://toubkallocalguide.art/trip/toubkal-trek-4-days-villages): 4 days, from Marrakech, from €205. Combines the summit with the quieter side of the massif: the Tizi n'Mzik pass, the Azzaden valley and villages that rarely see visitors.
