Trip overview
All about this trip
As with all of our trips, your itinerary has been designed to give you the 'Full' experience of Morocco and the Atlas Mountains. As on all of our high altitude adventures, the itinerary is designed to ensure proper acclimatisation for a safe ascent of Mt Toubkal.
Over our long and challenging Mt Toubkal - Roof of the North 8 day trek(Winter & Summer), you will hike the Berber mountain trails and experience the hospitality of the Berber people at the same time as soaking in the awesome views of the Atlas Mountains. You will reach a maximum altitude of 4167 meters and stand on the summit of the highest peak in North Africa - Mt Toubkal. The Roof of the North. In addition, there is an optional climb of the 2nd highest peak Mt Ouanoukrim (4089m). You will also get to fully immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and colours of the magical city of Marrakech as we spend a day either side of your trek.
- Our Mt Toubkal - Roof of the North trek is completed over 8 days allowing for a richer & fuller experience
- The longer route is ideal for acclimatisation
- Our Team in Morocco are incredibly experienced, knowledgeable and have a long history of mountain guiding in the Atlas Mountains

- Enjoy the time to explore Marrakech

Experience Required
The summit of Mt Toubkal is suitable for keen walkers/trekkers who are fit and able to walk for 4 – 5 hours in a day with a light rucksack. Ideally, you will be able to walk for consecutive days for this length of time. The altitude is manageable and not that great so this can be an amazing first venture to the high peaks before heading on other treks like Everest Base Camp or Kilimanjaro. If you choose to trek during winter, any previous winter walking experience is ideal although you will learn all you need on the trip itself.
