Itinerary
The "High Atlas Trek" offers a true Moroccan mountain adventure, expertly blending challenging trekking with cultural exploration. Over 10 days, starting and ending in Marrakech, this guided trip is tailored for experienced trekkers and adventurous travelers eager to conquer North Africa’s highest peak, Jebal Toubkal (4,167m).
Beyond scaling Toubkal, the itinerary delves into the rich traditions of Berber villages, with trails leading through alpine pastures and beneath the imposing High Atlas peaks. Time in Marrakech allows for exploration of bustling souks, ornate palaces, and the medina’s winding alleyways, providing a fascinating cultural counterpoint to the rugged mountain experience.
The unique selling point of this trekking tour is its perfect balance of physical challenge and cultural immersion, culminating in the rewarding ascent of Morocco’s highest summit—an achievement to savor for years to come.
day 1Arrive in Marrakesh
On arrival at Marrakesh Menara Airport, you’ll be met by our local team and transferred to your traditional riad in the heart of the city. Depending on your arrival time, you may like to take a short walk through the nearby medina, or simply relax on the rooftop terrace and soak up views across the ochre rooftops and distant Atlas peaks. If you’re arriving earlier than Day 1, we can arrange a private airport transfer and pre-trip accommodation on request (additional cost applies). This evening offers the chance to meet your fellow trekkers and get a taste of the warm Moroccan hospitality that will characterise your journey.
