Climbing Mt Toubkal holidays & tours
The Atlas Mountains are one thing, but their highest point, Mount Toubkal, is one of the mothers of mountaineering. At 4,167m, it is the highest peak in North Africa. Even in spring and summer this is a strenuous hike when you need expert guidance and support. And in winter, Mount Toubkal holidays are a whole other ball game, when crampons, ice picks and a serious commitment to winter climbing come into play. Our climbing Mount Toubkal holidays give you a great climb, but they also benefit Amazigh communities in the mountains by staying in locally-owned gites and using local produce. These holidays also pay for developments in remote villages, from water towers to medical clinics, to accommodation for female students.

Mount toubkal map & highlights
You can summit Mount Toubkal in a couple of days, with a couple of more days either end to get to and from Marrakech and acclimatise. Or you can take eight days to enjoy other aspects of the High Atlas highs, such as Mount Ouanoukrim, Morocco’s second highest peak. Camp in valleys with the wildest mountain environs enveloping you, such as Azaden Valley with its ancient juniper forests or the fertile slopes of Ourika Valley, the heartland of Berber pastures. No matter which route you take, or time you set aside to conquer the great peak, you will most likely start in the gateway village of Imlil, where the roads end and the mountain trails begin.

Aroumd
1. Aroumd
Also known as Aremd, this is the first stop for many trekkers, a village at an elevation of 2,000m with views over to Mount Toubkal. It is also your first real immersion into Berber community life, staying in a gite or village house where you will experience wonderful Berber hospitality. It is the highest village in the Ait Mizane Valley with myriad mountain spurs heading off in one direction and rugged ridges in another.
Imlil
2. Imlil
This mountain village is the gateway for Toubkal trekkers. It is where the road ends (just 90 mins from Marrakech) and the mountain trails begin. A higgledy piggeldy village, you know you have left the urban madness behind with Berber shepherds, mules and muleteers, traditional adobe houses, a busy market, almond groves and views out to Mount Toubkal, with its perfect sunset positioning, all part of this magnificent scenario.
Lake Ifni
3. Lake Ifni
The only lake in the Toubkal massif, at 2,295m, and one that you will trek to if you take the southern slop approach to Toubkal. Enveloped by rugged, burnished mountains, it is a popular camping spot before taking the next leg up to Refuge Toubkal. Not only is it a wonderful place to wake up, the cool waters of this deep lake will definitely eradicate the Atlas dust out of all necessary crevices.
Mount Toubkal summit
4. Mount Toubkal summit
Aka Jebel Toubkal, and North Africa’s highest peak, it’s one of the most magnificent mountaineering experiences within a short distance of Europe. At 4,167m, it’s a strenuous trek all year round, although people do take it on during snowy winter months, when alpinism and climbing experience are vital. Training is always included in your trip. Most summits take between two and four days.
Refuge du Toubkal
5. Refuge du Toubkal
Sometimes called Basecamp Toubkal or Neltner Refuge, this is the overnight stop at 3,207m before summiting Toubkal, another 3.5 hour trek away. Built 1938 by French alpinists, one of whom was Monsieur Neltner, it was refurbished in 1997 and sleeps 86 trekkers in dormitories, or you can camp beside it. With very basic meals and a warm fire, a Berber mint tea before the final morning summit tastes like the best ever.
Tizi n Tacht Pass
6. Tizi n Tacht Pass
This is the warm up for those taking on Toubkal over a few days, and a wakeup call that you are in the magnificent High Atlas – especially if you are camping here, waking up at 2,000m with the Atlas in your face. From Tacht you will also access the stunning, juniper tree filled Azaden Valley, with waterfalls and small villages all forming part of your trek from here onto Toubkal’s northern slope.
Mount Ouanoukrim
7. Mount Ouanoukrim
Morocco’s second highest peak, many people add it on to a Toubkal trekking holiday. With two summits, Timzguida (4,089m) and Ras Ouanoukrim (4,083m), forming one mountain most aim for the former because of its huge dome peak with superb panoramic views down to the desert plains. It is tough, though, as you usually take it on the day after Toubkal, taking advantage of your elevated starting point.
