Toubkal
Toubkal
Grab your passport and join us in Morocco, as we head to The High Atlas Mountains to summit North Africa’s highest mountain Toubkal. At 4167 metres, it’s just over three times the height of Ben Nevis and four times the height of Scafell Pike.
This 5-day adventure starts when you land in Marrakesh, collected, and transported to our accommodation in the village of Imlil, with en-suite twin rooms. The following morning, we hike at a leisurely pace through stunning scenery, spending 2 nights in mountain refuges. An early start sees us set off in the dark to Summit the terrific Toubkal and see the sunrise illuminating the splendour and beauty of the mountain range.
Once all pictures etc are taken, we head back down the valley and back to Imlil, where we collect any luggage and head to Marrakesh to a local Riad enjoying a hot shower and an afternoon/evening seeing the famous Jemaa el-Fnaa vibrant market square, where you can browse the souks, enjoy local dishes, and watch street performers. The following day we will transport you to the airport.
Accompanied by myself or one of our trusted guides, we use local guides, with private cooks and mules carrying holdalls, leaving you to carry your daypack. All internal transfers, meals and drinks on the trek are included.
