HOLIDAY DESCRIPTION

On this 3 day Moroccan exploration, we will challenge ourselves with an ascent of Jebel Toubkal (4167m) nestled in the Atlas Mountain Range and the highest mountain in North Africa. We’ll experience Berber culture and Moroccan cuisine in Toubkal Mountain refuge before we hike to the summit. We then have time to explore Marrakech and stay in a centrally located basic hotel.

We’ll be picked up from Marrakech airport and driven to Imlil village where our hike begins. Once our luggage is loaded on the mules, we begin the ascent to the Toubkal Mountain Refuge (3207m) where we’ll spend our first night high in the mountains. Next morning is the exhilarating climbing of Mt Toubkal followed by descent down to the refuge for lunch. After our meal we descend to Imlil and get a transfer to Marrakech for our hotel stay in the heart of the city. In the evening you’ll have some time on your hands for a stroll around central Marrakech and a bit of exploration.

This location is so great that Sir Richard Branson has bought a villa here and we actually met him on the trails in October 2017.
