Mt. Toubkal [Full Image]

Mt Toubkal, known locally as Jebel Toubkal, stands 4167m above sea level and commands superb views of the High Atlas mountains. Our trek to the summit starts in the small village of Oukaimeden, passes through impressive landscapes on well-defined paths, and is surprisingly not too strenuous. As we climb higher the paths do become steep and rugged in places, but the gain in altitude awards a dramatic view; to the north the plains of Marrakech, to the south the Anti-Atlas mountains, and to the east and west row after row of sharp granite peaks. Throughout this energetic and rewarding trek our route passes through remote villages that offer an insight into the life of the Berbers, a culture that has hardly changed for centuries. We end the week with some free time in the colourful Imperial city of Marrakech.

5 days walking with full porterage. Altitude maximum 4167m, average 2600m. Grade C.
