Blessed with bright sunshine and little wind we were able to laze at the summit enjoying the amazing views. Up is hard, especially with minimal time to get used to the altitude….but down is a LONG way on often-skiddy paths, and we were very happy to get to our lovely hotel at the end of the descent.
Mount Toubkal
Mount Toubkal Trips
In the High Atlas range of Morocco, Toubkal is the highest mountain in North Africa at 4,167m tall. Challenge yourself on a trek to the top, taking well-defined paths through Amazigh (Berber) villages and terraced fields. Tired legs are rewarded with superb views over the Atlas mountains and beyond to the rugged landscape of the pre-Sahara. It’s also just a few hours from Marrakech, making one of our Mount Toubkal tours the perfect challenge to take over a long weekend.
Mount Toubkal Adventure Holidays
David Tooth Mt Toubkal Long Weekend
Brendan OCiobhain Mt Toubkal Long WeekendGreat trip with a bunch of lovely fellow travellers. The weather could not have been better. Organisation was spot on.
Alison Melrose Mt Toubkal Long WeekendIf you are short on time but love adventure, this is a great trip. The trek is challenging, you will need decent boots, and beware of the slippery scree but well worth the hard work. The night in the Refuge was quite the experience, a 16man bunk bed and breakfast at 2.20am so we could get to the top for sunrise. Hussain (our guide) and Lassan (the support guide) were great. I had a nasty bout of altitude sickness at the Refuge and Hussain took me higher to try and conquer it and feel better. The mountains are beautiful, the chef kept us well fed and time for a whiz round Marrakech too. Highly recommended.
