Mount Toubkal (4,167m) 4-day guided ascent, Morocco

Standing at 4,167 meters (13,671ft), Mount Toubkal is the highest peak in Morocco, in northern Africa, and in the whole Arab world. It is located in the country’s southwest, in the High Atlas, a sub-range within the Atlas Mountains, which extend over 2,500 kilometers across Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, in the Maghreb African region. It lays within the Toubkal National Park, which covers over 100,000 hectares between the valleys of N'Fiss to the west and Ourika to the east.

Toubkal is a mountain massif of volcanic origin, and one of the few summits in Morocco covered in snow yearlong. Its surrounding valleys, with terraced crops and adobe constructions, its rich wildlife, and locals’ welcoming and attractive Berber culture, make this trip a must!

Our tour’s meeting point will be the city of Marrakesh airport, located 60 kilometers north from Mount Toubkal. From there, we will travel to our expedition’s starting point, the small village of Imlil (1,740m), in the heart of the Toubkal valley, at the base of the Atlas Mountains. During the journey, we will spend two nights at a hotel in Imlil and one in a mountain refuge.

Our total traveled distance will be of 32 kilometers, with a total ascent of 2,510 meters. I will take groups of a minimum of 6 people and a maximum of 12. While Mount Toubkal is not a technical summit, it features some challenging sections. Therefore, participants are required to be in good shape and have some prior trekking experience to be able to join this expedition.

Below you will find a detailed itinerary of the program. However, please note that this can be slightly adjusted depending on the weather conditions, as well as on availability on hotels and mountain refuges.
