DAY 2: HIKE TO REFUGE DE TOUBKAL (3,207 M)
In the morning you’ll hike for 3 hours to the tiny settlement of Sidi Chamharouch. Here your cooks will serve up lunch, and you can also get fresh orange juice from one of the local stools. Afterwards you continue for another 3 hours to Refuge de Toubkal, where you’ll stay for the night.
DAY 3: SUMMIT TOUBKAL (4,167 M) AND RETURN TO MARRAKECH
