Planning the Toubkal climb

Best time for Toubkal

The treks run all year. The month sets the conditions: sun, summer heat or snow on the upper slopes.

The short answer

April to May and September to October are the best months to climb Toubkal: no deep snow on the summit slopes and no summer heat in the valley. Summer works with an early start. From November to April expect snow, crampons and a cold refuge.

Treks run all year. Ramadan 2027 is expected from February to early March 2027; the dates depend on the moon sighting.

Toubkal is 4,167 m high and only about 1.5 hours by road from Marrakech, so the seasons are extreme at both ends. In summer the valley around Imlil is hot while the summit is cold before dawn. In winter Marrakech is mild but the slopes above the refuge are under snow. Pick the month first, then the trek.

Treks for each season

Spring or autumn

April to May and September to October bring the most stable conditions. The classic two-day trek fits well.

The year on Toubkal

MonthsConditionsWho it suits
April to MaySpring trekking season. Snow can linger high up in April.Best time for most people
June to AugustHot in the valley and in Marrakech, summit mostly free of snow, cold before sunrise.Good for an early start; carry more water
September to OctoberAutumn trekking season. A reviewer met snow on the summit in September.Best time for most people
November to MarchSnow on the upper slopes, short days, a cold refuge. Crampons and ice axe may be needed.For fit hikers ready for winter conditions

Spring and autumn

These are the classic trekking months, between the summer heat in the valley and the winter snow on the summit slopes. April sits at the edge: Marrakech Day Trips - Tours counts November to April as the season when crampons or an ice axe may be needed, so ask your operator about snow if you go early in spring. In October a guest of the village trek by Marrakech Day Trips - Tours found the area very cold day and evening.

Summer

From June to August the heat sits in Marrakech and the valleys. Summit day starts in the dark, which keeps the climb in cool air. Reviewers still describe a cold sunrise on top, so the warm layer stays in the bag. Transfers can be the hottest part of the day: one reviewer sat in a bus without air conditioning at over 40 degrees. Berber Tours & Adventures sleeps in a tent rather than the refuge in the summer months.

Winter, November to April

Snow covers the upper slopes, days are short and the refuge is cold. The treks still run, and most listings point to crampons and an ice axe for rent in Imlil. Bad weather can stop the summit attempt; guides then turn back or pick a lower walk. Everything about the cold months is on Toubkal in winter.

Ramadan

Ramadan 2027 is expected from February to early March 2027; the dates depend on the moon sighting. None of the listings mentions a break for Ramadan. Ask the operator how meals on the path are handled that month.

After the 2023 earthquake

The Al Haouz earthquake of September 2023 affected the region around Imlil. Rebuilding is under way, and the treks to the refuge and the summit run again.

Clothes for each season are on the packing list. Lower routes for hot months are among the village treks.

Different months in the Atlas

Guests write about April, May, June and October in the mountains around Imlil. One critical voice is about the heat on the transfer in summer.

“Very enjoyable and memorable experience with my girlfriend and my mum for her 70th birthday. The guide Yussef was extremely friendly and made everything comfortable for us, the accommodation exceeded my expectations, the food was brilliant and we had loads of it, the walking really nice (hard enough for me to enjoy but gentle enough for my mum although she’s in great shape for her age) …”
Elliot · United Kingdom · April 2026 2-day village trek · Marrakech Day Trips - Tours
“Mohammed and Zak were the best guides we could imagine. they are taking care of each person, they are very experienced and on top of that they are super funny and always open for a nice chat. the food was way better than expected and we got filled up very well. we were two girls and we could enjoy the trek because we felt in safe hands.”
Luna · Germany · May 2026 2-day trek via the Mizane Valley · Berber Tours & Adventures
“At the start of the trek, you could rent any equipment you might need, which made everything very convenient. … We were a group of four in June and even had a private guide, which made the experience even more special. The hike is definitely challenging, so a good level of fitness is recommended.”
Pepijn · Belgium · June 2026 2-day trek with lodging · Transportation and Tours in Morocco
“A fantastic 2-day trek! We were accompanied by a guide, and a mule followed us with the provisions! The group's atmosphere was really pleasant. Please note that in October, it can get very cold in the area, both during the day and in the evening.”
Clemence · France · October 2026 · translated review 2-day village trek · Marrakech Day Trips - Tours
“The transport to and from the pickup was ridiculous. Crammed in with no air conditioning at all on either of the buses with temperatures above 40 degrees”

April to May and September to October. April can still have snow high up, and summer is hot in the valley.

Is there snow on Toubkal in summer?

Usually not on the path in mid-summer. The summit is still cold before sunrise, so bring a warm layer.

Can I climb Toubkal in winter?

Yes, the treks run from November to April too. Expect snow, crampons and an ice axe from Imlil, a cold refuge and a summit that bad weather can rule out.

Do Toubkal treks run during Ramadan?

The listings do not mention a break. Ramadan 2027 is expected from February to early March 2027, depending on the moon sighting. Ask how meals on the way are handled.

Is it safe to trek near Imlil after the 2023 earthquake?

The treks run again. The Al Haouz earthquake of September 2023 affected the region around Imlil, and rebuilding is under way.
