Stage 2 of the Toubkal Circuit covers 12.8 km from Tacheddirt to Azib Likemt, with 1,236 m of ascent and 941 m of descent. The highest point is 3,546 m. Allow about 6.5 hours of walking, plus breaks.
Distance, climb and elevation come from the Outest route data. Difficulty and time are estimates from distance and climb; your pace will vary with heat, pack weight and photo stops.
Shepherds' summer settlement (azib) below Tizi Likemt with no gîte or shop: trekking groups camp by the stream with tents and food carried by mules. You need your own tent, stove and food, or a trek with mule support.
Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "listed in a map or guide listing" appear on OpenStreetMap, booking sites or trekking itineraries, but could not be confirmed on their own website; numbers change, so ask your guide or the previous gîte. Gîtes in the villages are simple guesthouses with dormitories or small rooms and half board; at Azib Likemt and Lac d'Ifni there are no beds, only camping. Most walkers have a guide who books ahead. Pay in cash in dirhams.

The full stage works offline in Outest, with the route, elevation, water and village points, and a trail guide you can ask about conditions and the next place to sleep.
