Hasn't voted | Hi Diego - the refuge that was called Neltner was pulled down by the Club Alpin Francais de Casablanca and replaced by the current structure which they called the Refuge Toubkal. I don't know the name of the other more modern building, which is much nicer! | |

Hasn't voted | The newest building is called the Mouflon refuge. However, if I'm not mistaken, alpine club members only receive a discount in the CAF hut. | |

Hasn't voted | In addition to accommodation you might be charged a small fee for firewood. The staff are friendly/helpful and speak several languages. The dinners they prepare are quite good. Mobile phone reception is available near one of the windows of the communal room ;) Don't forget your alpine club membership card... | |

| MattHC | New Hut | |
Hasn't voted | The new refuge du toubkal is called 'Gite Camping Les Mouflons'. It is owned by Mohamed Imzilen and run by his brother in law Abderahim Layihaoui. Prices are very resonable, and even if you do not get a discount with alpine club membership, is well worth the price: Board - 80dhs Supper - 50dhs Breakfast - 25dhs Shower - 10dhs Details: Phone - 00 212 (0)63 763713 or 00 212 (0)61 213345 Email - afoud@wanadoo.net.ma | |

| boriskrielen | Reaching the huts | |
Hasn't voted | Reaching the huts in one day from Imlil can be slightly too far, especially in wintertime when there is a lot of snow and wind, or when you're not acclimatised yet. Halfway up from the village Imlil, you will find the sanctuary Sidi Chamaroux, a small collection of huts. During daytime there are local people there who will sell you anything from hot and cold food, to drinks, warm hats and more. You can sleep there in one of the rooms behind the left side of the 'main street'. The rooms are small (2x2 meter) and the word clean doesn't even mean anything here. But it's warm inside after you light the stove. A stove will be provided for warmth, cooking and light. The floor is covered with animal fur and blankets. You will need a good sleepingbag though. Door can be locked from inside or outside with a seperate lock they'll give to you. If you want to leave early in the morning, before the locals return, you can leave the key behind in one of the small stores (they'll show you where to put it). Normal price should be about 30 Dirham per person per night, but they'll probably start at 100. After 7 o'clock in the evening, all local people have left Sidi Chamaroux and you'll have the place to yourself (in winter). If you don't have any food with you, a simple meal can be prepared for you. But don't expect a tasty tagine here. Simple pasta will be the ultimate of high cuisine. | |
