Image
If you are staying at CAF refuge on Toubkal you will probably eat dinner there. To be hones - it is huge portion of carbs. When I had my dinner there in 2018 February there was chicken, noodles and fried potatoes in one huge plate and everyone shared the meal. It was great and I got a lot of energy next morning for the summit push. I made the summit of Jebel Toubkal without any problems.

Jebel Toubkal is the highest mountain in Atlas mountains range and in the whole North Africa. It reaches altitude of 4167 meters above sea level and is one of the easiest and totally non-technical 4000 meter peaks. Climbing Toubkal without a guide  is definitely possible and doable if you have enough experience in mountains climbing. Climbing Jebel Toubkal without a Guide. Climbing Mt Toubkal from Imlil If you are ready to climb 4000 meters peak it will take you only 2 days to reach the summit of Toubkal from Imlil or even Marrakesh. You will need to take grand taxi or bus from Marrakesh city. It will take about 2 hours from there to village of Imlil where the trek to the summit starts. 1st day is pretty easy. You will need to reach refuge at 3200 meters above sea level. Imlil village is at 1800 meters above sea level, so you will need to make 1400 vertical meters in a day. I recommend to stay and CAF Refuge which is decent place to spend a night. When to climb Jebel Toub
