Approx. 5 hours walking.
Day 2: Azib Tamssoult – Aguelzim Pass (3,600m) – Toubkal Refuge
Today is a spectacular high-mountain day and excellent acclimatization for the summit. We follow the river upstream to the beautiful Ighouliden waterfalls, then continue climbing toward Aguelzim Pass (3,600m).
From the pass, enjoy breathtaking views across the Haouz Plain and toward Mount Toubkal itself. After a picnic lunch at the pass, we descend toward the Toubkal Refuge (3,207m), where we rest and prepare for summit day.
