The roof of North Africa
A legendary summit in the heart of Morocco’s High Atlas
Mount Toubkal rises to 4,167 metres above the valleys and Berber villages of the High Atlas. The classic approach begins in Imlil and follows mountain trails towards the Toubkal refuge before the final ascent to the summit.
This is more than a climb. It is a journey through changing landscapes, local communities and the quiet rhythm of the mountains. The right itinerary depends on your available time, fitness and the kind of Morocco experience you want to combine with the summit.
You choose the challenge. Our local team takes care of the route, logistics and mountain support.

- Train with regular walking, stairs or uphill hikes before the trip.
- Choose a longer itinerary if you prefer a more gradual approach.

Before you go
Mount Toubkal trekking questions
Do I need previous mountaineering experience?
Previous technical climbing experience is not normally required for the standard ascent in dry conditions, but good physical fitness and experience with long walks are strongly recommended.
Should I choose 2, 3 or 4 days?
The 2-day option is the fastest and most demanding. Three or four days provide more time in the mountains and a more gradual experience. Your fitness, schedule and travel style should guide the choice.
Can Mount Toubkal be climbed in winter?
Yes, but snow and ice can change the difficulty significantly. Crampons, an ice axe and suitable winter clothing may be required, depending on current conditions.
Where does the trek begin?
Our Toubkal experiences connect from Marrakech and normally begin walking in or around Imlil, the main gateway to the mountain.
