Morocco High Atlas Three Peaks Route

Most itineraries use Imlil, Toubkal Refuge, and Imlil as the key access bases for Mount Toubkal, Timzguida, and Ras / Ouanoukrim, with summit days linked by transfers rather than one continuous trail. Arrivals from the UK usually begin with london -> marrakech direct, 90-120 minute road transfer before the route moves on between the mountain bases.
