Embark on an extraordinary 8-day adventure that takes you through the valleys and mountains of Toubkal, the heart of Morocco’s High Atlas.

From the vibrant city of Marrakech to the summit of Toubkal, North Africa’s highest peak, this journey offers a unique blend of natural beauty, cultural immersion, and personal achievement.
Your adventure begins with your arrival in Marrakech, where the ancient meets the modern in a bustling atmosphere of markets, gardens, and historic monuments. A short transfer from the city leads to the starting point of your trek in Imi Oughlad, marking the beginning of your ascent through forests of holm oaks and over the Tacht pass to Tizi Oussem, nestled in the mountains.
As you progress, the trek takes you higher into the mountains, through juniper forests and past the traditional sheepfolds of Tamsoult, culminating at the Tazaghart refuge. Each step of the journey reveals the intricate balance between the natural environment and the human touch, from cultivated land clinging to mountainsides to the majestic waterfalls of Ighoulidem.
The ascent of Toubkal represents the pinnacle of the trek, a challenge that rewards you with breathtaking views over the entire Atlas range and beyond, from the Siroua Massif to the plains and deserts on the horizon. This is more than just a climb; it’s an opportunity to stand at the roof of North Africa, a moment of profound connection to the world around you.
The descent back to Imlil is a time for reflection and celebration, sharing in the accomplishments of the journey with your team of muleteers and guides. The final days offer a chance to explore the villages of the valley and the cultural treasures of Marrakech, from the bustling Jemaa el-Fnaa to the tranquil Majorelle Garden.
This trek through the valleys and mountains of Toubkal is more than an adventure; it’s a journey through the heart of Morocco, offering a glimpse into the soul of its landscapes and people.
