What we’re about

Welcome explorers to 'Expedition Costa Blanca', we are a group that will be exploring the exciting, spectacular, and hidden sights of the mountain areas of the Marina Alta and Marina Baja, in the Costa Blanca region of Spain

This group will appeal to those who are already 'fit to hike' with a sense of adventure, who want to meet like-minded individuals to enjoy the great outdoors.

Some of our trips will involve various grades of scrambling, ridge walks and you may need a head for heights. This will be explained fully on each event page.

For those of you that are just novices at hiking and lack experience of mountain hiking, we will aim to run some less challenging events to allow you to gain the necessary experience and fitness. These will be clearly stated on the programme of events.

We look forward to meeting you all on our adventures.

🇪🇸 ¡Únete a nosotros para una aventura inolvidable de fin de semana largo hasta la cima del Monte Toubkal (4.167 m) — la montaña más alta de África del Norte y una de las cimas de 4.000 m más accesibles del mundo! 🏔️✨
Este es un itinerario único de Expedition Costa Blanca, creado para que sea más divertido y mejor organizado que los típicos tours “rápido y ya” de Toubkal. En lugar de ir directamente a la montaña al llegar, haremos un enfoque más relajado:
Una mejor forma de subir Toubkal
Llegamos a Marrakech alrededor de las 19:15 y viajamos al tranquilo pueblo de montaña de Imlil, donde podemos descansar, instalarnos y disfrutar de una buena noche de sueño. Este pequeño cambio hace una gran diferencia: empiezas el Día 1 fresco y listo para la aventura.
Nuestro primer día de trekking nos lleva por los valles del Alto Atlas, pasando por cascadas y santuarios de montaña, hasta llegar al Refugio Toubkal debajo de la cima. Después de la cena, nos preparamos para el gran día siguiente.
Día de la Cima
El día de la cima es un gran día de montaña, con aproximadamente 18 km de caminata y unos 900 m de subida hasta los 4.167 m. La ruta no es técnica, pero es exigente, especialmente en el descenso completo de vuelta al valle.
Comenzamos temprano para aprovechar la mañana, subiendo con calma hasta la cima del Monte Toubkal, donde las vistas del Atlas son inolvidables.
Después de celebrar en la cima, descendemos de nuevo hasta Imlil. Este largo descenso es donde se nota la preparación física: es un día completo, pero muy gratificante.
La diferencia clave de nuestro itinerario es lo que viene después: en lugar de regresar inmediatamente al aeropuerto, nos quedamos una noche más en Imlil. Esto da tiempo para ducharse, comer, descansar y disfrutar de la noche juntos después de un gran logro.
A la mañana siguiente, tras un desayuno relajado, viajamos al aeropuerto de Marrakech para el vuelo de regreso a casa. ✈️
Requisitos físicos
El Monte Toubkal se considera una de las cimas de 4.000 m más fáciles, sin escalada técnica.
Sin embargo, este itinerario incluye un largo descenso desde la cima hasta Imlil, por lo que se necesita un nivel de forma física intermedio.
En las semanas antes del viaje, organizaremos varias excursiones de preparación física que simulan el esfuerzo y la subida del gran día. Estas sesiones ayudarán a todos a sentirse confiados y preparados para el reto.

  • Guía durante todo el viaje
  • Traslados desde y hacia el aeropuerto en Marruecos
  • Alojamiento en Imlil y en el refugio
  • Todos los desayunos, comidas y cenas
  • Intento de cima del Monte Toubkal

  • Excursiones de preparación en grupo antes del viaje

🇬🇧 Join us for an unforgettable long-weekend adventure to the summit of Mount Toubkal (4,167m) — the highest mountain in North Africa and one of the most achievable 4,000m peaks in the world.
This is a unique Expedition Costa Blanca itinerary, created to be more enjoyable and better paced than the typical “rush in, rush out” Toubkal tours. Instead of pushing straight into the mountains on arrival, we’ll take a more relaxed approach:

A Better Way to Climb Toubkal
We arrive in Marrakech around 19:15 and travel to the peaceful mountain village of Imlil, where we can unwind, settle in, and enjoy a proper night’s rest. This simple change makes a huge difference — you begin Day 1 refreshed and ready for the adventure.
Our first trekking day takes us through the High Atlas valleys, past waterfalls and mountain shrines, eventually reaching the Toubkal Refuge beneath the summit. After dinner, we prepare for the big day ahead.

Summit Day
Summit day is a big mountain day, with approximately 18km of hiking and around 900m of elevation gain on the ascent to 4,167m. The route is non-technical but demanding, especially with the full descent back to the valley.
We begin early to make the most of the morning conditions, climbing steadily to the summit of Mount Toubkal, where the views across the Atlas Mountains are unforgettable.
After celebrating at the top, we descend all the way back to Imlil. This long descent is where the fitness preparation pays off — it’s a full, rewarding day on the legs.

The key difference with our itinerary is what comes next: instead of immediately travelling back to the airport, we stay for one final night in Imlil. This gives everyone the chance to shower, eat, rest, relax, and enjoy the evening together after a huge achievement.
The following morning, after a relaxed breakfast, we travel to Marrakech Airport for the return flight home.

Fitness Requirements
Mount Toubkal is considered one of the easier 4,000m peaks, with no technical climbing involved.
However, this itinerary includes a long descent from the summit back to Imlil, so an intermediate fitness level is required.

In the weeks leading up to the trip, we’ll run several fitness preparation events that simulate the effort and elevation of the big day. These sessions will help everyone feel confident, ready, and fully prepared for the challenge.

Included

  • All guiding throughout the trip
  • Airport transfers in Morocco
  • All accommodation in Imlil and at the refuge
  • All breakfasts, lunches, and dinners
  • Summit attempt of Mount Toubkal
  • Luggage support from mules
  • Group preparation hikes before the trip

Not Included

  • Flights (recommended option below)
  • Tips for local staff
  • Final evening meal in Marrakech
  • Snacks, drinks, and souvenirs
  • Travel insurance
