This 8-day trek to the highest peak in North Africa will both challenge and reward you at every turn. On your way to the summit, you’ll learn about Berber life, see some of the most spectacular views on the planet, and test the strength of your calves too.
Experience the unforgettable and discover one of Africa’s most authentic hidden gems as you conquer the majestic Mount Toubkal. (And yes, of course, you’ll get the chance to barter with the souks in Marrakech too.)
Morocco might sit right in the middle of the biggest desert in the world but this fabulous African country also hosts its fair share of snow as well as sand, at certain times of year.
4,167m above sea level, Toubkal pokes her head out highest above the rest of the High Atlas Mountains. Dotted with diverse terrain, climates and wildlife, she lies at the heart of Morocco’s Toubkal National Park, waiting to give you an experience like no other.
BUT FIRST, MARRAKECH.
You’ll spend the first night of your Moroccan adventure wandering through the maze of market stalls in Marrakech, bantering with souks and sinking your senses into the spices and sights before you.
One good night’s sleep later and you’ll find yourself in a different scene altogether, tying up the laces on your trusty walking boots and meeting your mule.
You’ll see some truly incredible views as you hike along river paths, across valleys, past Berber villages and around waterfalls on your journey towards the summit.
As the altitude increases, the paths become steeper and snowier but the climb awards the most dramatic feels and all the most important “A”s: awe, achievement and amazing views over the Anti-Atlas mountains.
You really will find it hard to believe the Sahara Desert is just a stone’s throw away. – Don’t go throwing any stones from the top of Toubkal though or they won’t let us back!
