Morocco
Trekking in Morocco has to be one of the best ways to discover this intoxicating country, getting off the beaten track and exploring the Atlas Mountians visiting traditional Berber villages that have changed very little in centuries while climbing 4000m peaks makes Morocco a great destination for Adventure.
Mount Toubkal Climb
At 4,167m, Mount Toubkal is the highest mountain in North Africa. The climb to the summit is challenging, but it requires little mountaineering experience the panoramic views from the summit over the High Atlas are truely outstanding.
After our arrival in Marrakech we have short transfer to the berber village of Imlil were we spend the night in a local Gite,the following day we slowly make our way to the Toubkal Refuge we pass through terraced fields and remote villages which give us a great insight into berber life.
After a night at the refuge we start our final steep summit ascent of Mt Toubkal as you gain altitude you are rewarded with dramatic views over the Atlas Mountains and Marrakech.
Once on the summit of North Africa's hightest mountain you will be totally exhilarated by your sense of achievement.
