Tour Description

4-Day Mount Toubkal Ascent (4,167m)Experience Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa, on this 4-day trekking adventure through the stunning High Atlas Mountains. Walk through green valleys, traditional Berber villages, and rugged alpine landscapes while accompanied by our experienced local team, including guides and muleteers.

The ascent is non-technical, suitable for keen hikers, with some easy scrambling and, in winter (October to May), snow-covered slopes requiring crampons and an ice axe for safety.

From the summit, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views across the High Atlas, the Marrakech Plain to the north, and the edge of the Sahara Desert to the south, surrounded by jagged peaks stretching as far as the eye can see.

This trek is ideal for travelers seeking a memorable, immersive mountain adventure combining scenery, culture, and challenge.
