Trekking Mount Toubkal in Winter

Morocco's Atlas Mountains including Mount Toubkal, North Africa's highest mountain, provide a fantastic range of trekking options for the winter hiker from November through to April. Just 2 hours drive from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech, the high valleys of the Berber people are at their quietest and most beautiful at this season. Our well tried-and-tested itinerary includes a day's acclimatisation hike above the village of Aroumd, before we proceed to the Toubkal Refuge (3207m) and Toubkal's effective basecamp at the head of the valley. From here, we aim to climb Ouanoukrim (4088m), Morocco's second highest summit, and Toubkal (4167m), the highest mountain in North Africa. Spectacular views from each of these peaks extend across the rocky Atlas ranges and southwards to Jebel Sahro and the Sahara. Although this trip involves negotiating easy-angled snow slopes and ice-axe and crampons will be used, previous experience of winter mountaineering is not required, but is recommended. Fully guided, this is a short and very special winter walking holiday.Running a select few of the departures in conjunction with our friends at Allibert Trekking in France, gives the holiday an international flavour and a cosmopolitan mix!

Toubkal Weekend - The Ultimate Morocco Short Break

Due south of the 1000-year-old pink walled city of Marrakech, the Atlas Mountains rise to over 4000 metres and include Mount Toubkal (4167m), the highest peak in North Africa. Snow-covered throughout the winter, Toubkal is usually clear of snow by mid summer and presents nothing more than a steep hike on a well-marked trail across scree and rock. Reached after a 2-hour drive from Marrakech, followed by an easy-paced 5-hour hike to the Neltner Refuge at just over 3200 metres, this is a very accessible mountain and can reasonably be tackled within the course of a long weekend. However, to fit this climb within just 2 days (Marrakech to Marrakech) we must make our ascent from the Neltner Refuge, return to the roadhead at the village of Aremd and transfer back to Marrakech within a single, long day. This weekend will appeal to regular mountain walkers looking for a challenge. It offers the chance to experience the delights of Morocco and the High Atlas - a world far removed from our own. From the colourful souks of Marrakech, with their vendors of spices, carpets and leather goods, to the pretty stone-built villages of the Berber people, this is Morocco at its most authentic. For those with limited available holiday, or those in need of a quick adventure fix, this is a simply superb weekend break.
