MOUNT TOUBKAL ASCENT - 4 DAYS TREK

Overview

Adventure at the Summit: Ascent of Mount Toubkal in 4 Days 

Embark on an exploration of North Africa's highest mountain, the 4-day ascent of Mount Toubkal, standing tall at 4167m. Witness breathtaking views of the Moroccan Atlas Mountains, verdant valleys, and Berber villages nestled amidst lush greenery. Meet our team, including local guides and muleteers, and immerse yourself in this once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

The ascent of Toubkal, at 4167m, is the pinnacle of trekking in Morocco. During winter (October to May), two days are dedicated to walking with crampons and ice axes for added safety. Designed for avid hikers, the route is non-technical but features some enjoyable scrambling and snow-covered slopes.

The vistas from the summit are simply spectacular, extending across the mountains to the north towards Marrakech and offering glimpses of the Sahara desert to the south. Surrounding you are the rugged peaks of the High Atlas, stretching as far as the eye can see in every direction.

This trek is available year-round, with flexible departure dates to suit your preferences. Join one of our weekly departures and experience the 4-day Toubkal Hike for yourself. Contact us to book your adventure today!
