Jun - Aug


Description

Mount Toubkal, near the Mount Mgoun in the High Atlas Moroccan mountains, is one of the best places for the hiking practice in Europe, outside The Alps.

During summertime, Mount Toubkal offers an excellent trekking option with the addition of a different cultural and culinary experience. They will be 4 or 5 days of hiking among the beautiful landscapes of Morocco. As your guide, I can guarantee the following services:

  • The best Moroccan recipes mixed with Western foods that you will love

  • Very comfortable rural huts 

  • Mules that will help you to make the journey lighter

  • Complete service of guiding specialized in summer trekking

  • Transfer to and from Marrakech

Mount Toubkal will surprise you. You will find many different trails in the system of surrounding valleys. The itinerary I am proposing consists in a 3-day hike in at least two of those valleys. But, in case you are interested in getting to Mount Toukbal summit I suggest to extend the trip 2 more days in order to be well acclimatized.

Here you can see the details of each day. It’s just an estimate program. Remember I can plan a customized trip adapted to your own wishes.

DAY 1

A taxi or minibus will take us from Marrakech to Imlil where we will start the trekking trail at 1.740 meters. It will be a 4-to-7-hike in The Tacheddirt Valley.

DAY 2

Today we will walk from the mountain pass of Tizi n’Tamatert to the valley of Mizane. After 7 or 8 hours, we will be finally in the hut of Toubkal at 3.200 meters of height.

DAY 3

Time to climb to the summit of Mount Toubkal! We will reach to 4.167 meters high and it will take about 6-7 hours.

DAY 4

We will take the Tadat Col o Aguelzim Pass and walk across the Bou Idaren Valley until we arrive to Tamsoult Hut.

DAY 5

Last day! We will enjoy a lunch in Imlil after an amazing traverse in the pass of Tizi Mzzik at 2.450 meters.

I don’t want you to have any doubt about this beautiful hike in Mount Toubkal, so then I also leave at your disposal, all the prices of this trip. The group size cannot exceed 8 participants.

James

Mountain Leader

I hold the Mountaineering Instructor Certificate (MIC) and I'm a keen summer and winter climber. Originally from California, I lived in Morocco for ten years, most recently in the High Atlas mountain village of Imlil, and I'm currently based in the UK. I come alive in the mountains and love my role as a climbing and mountaineering instructor and seeing people equipped for their own adventures.


What people are saying about Explore-Share

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.

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

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.

Cami

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.
