Description

Situated in southwestern Morocco, in the heart of the Atlas Mountains, climbing Mount Toubkal should be at the top of any enthusiastic trekker’s bucket list!

Rising to 4,167 meters (13,671 feet) in elevation, Toubkal is the highest mountain in all of Morocco and one of the most prominent peaks (36th) on earth. This makes it perhaps the most popular target for trekking and climbing enthusiasts in North Africa.

The fun begins shortly after we meet up in Marrekech and transfer to Imlil, which is the main starting point for hikers heading into the Atlas Mountains. As a result, it has become an interesting and lively market town.

From Imlil, we will begin hiking into the valley and toward the mountains. The first pass we climb is Tizi-n-Mezzik. From here, we will enjoy majestic views back into the valley and out over the Azzaden Valley.

We will descend into the latter and cross this valley, approaching the foot of Toubkal. By the third day, we will begin our ascent of Toubkal, hiking past the gorgeous Ighouliden waterfalls and over the Aguelzim Mountain pass.

Finally, we arrive at base camp and prepare for the ascent the following morning. After an early start and a steep climb, we will arrive at the summit and enjoy panoramic views back is not the mountains as well as out over the seemingly endless Sahara Desert.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this scenic and exciting 6-day adventure climbing Mount Toubkal!

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
