Mt Toubkal Winter Trek, Morocco

Mt Toubkal Winter Trek, Morocco Overview

Starting from bustling labyrinth of Marrakech you'll venture into the heart of the High Atlas Mountains to climb North Africa’s highest peak, Mount Toubkal at 4167m. This incredible mountain range provides some of the most spectacular winter trekking in the world! Plus experience the warm hospitality of the local Berber communities.

Winter is a great time to trek in Toubkal National Park as it offers a true winter mountaineering experience. The mountains are virtually deserted apart from the friendly local Berbers and fellow mountaineering enthusiasts. You’ll have plenty of time to learn their customs and enjoy hearty home-cooked meals during this epic mountain adventure. The views on the way up are spectacular, but nothing compares to what you’ll see (and feel) at the top. From the summit of Toubkal you will experience stunning 360-degree panoramic views which extend across the rocky Atlas ranges and southwards to Jebel Sahro and the Sahara Desert. Mt Toubkal winter ascent is great intro to winter trekking and Morocco is a perfect alpine mountaineering destination right on your doorstep. Whilst not a technical climb, the use of crampons and ice axe are required on most trips and you will learn and practice these skills before summit day.
