Mt Toubkal Climb

Mt Toubkal Climb (EDTMM)

Duration: 8 days (may vary)
Areas: Morocco
Tour types: Walking & Trekking

Description

Mt Toubkal, known locally as Jebel Toubkal, stands 4167m above sea level and commands superb views of the High Atlas Mountains. Our trek passes through impressive landscapes on well-defined paths and is, surprisingly, not too strenuous. As we climb higher, the paths do become steeper and rugged in places, but the gain in altitude awards dramatic views; to Marrakech, the Anti-Atlas mountains and row after row of sharp granite peaks. This rewarding trek passes through remote villages and terraced fields offering us an insight to the life of the hardy and friendly Berber people. We finish the week with some free time in the colourful Imperial City of Marrakech.
