The 3 Peaks Challenge in Morocco

Wow, what an experience the 3 peak challenge was. I just can’t praise the guides enough for looking after us on an awesome challenge and for engaging in the group craic, 3 pure legends in their own right!! What a fantastic group of people to have done the hike with too. Everyone got involved and that just made it. The scramble up Mt Ouanoukrim was a bit hairy for novices but fair play to the hides they got us up and down in one piece. The riad in Marrakesh was just perfect. Located in the middle of the old town we just had to step outside the door for the authentic experience. The mountain refuge during the hike, well what can you say, it was a roof over our head and plenty warm. I’d definitely recommend this trip and MBA, everything was so well organised and the people where pure gold.

Definitely a challenge, but worth every blister! Well organised from the beginning to the end, amazing guides who made sure it was safe, and couldn't do more to look after us, highly recommended!

Hi folks Just wanted to say a huge thanks for an amazing experience. I felt fully supported from start to finish and enjoyed the 3 peaks challenge, the group togetherness and the fantastic team you have in Morocco Many thanks Mark

Excellent from start to finish. The team we went with were awesome!! Food excellent. A massive thank you to the guides, who worked so hard and were always there to help and support, especially Abdulilahmeskouk. You were amazing!! Thank you.

An amazing trip, with a fantaatic group! The guides were great; very friendly, helpful, attentive and took really good care of the group. The food was terrific and a special mention for the amazing cook at the mountain hut. Summit of Mt Toubkal was great and the additional mountains were a real treat.

Recommend this trip to anyone wanting to bag a few 4000m mountains, and for anyone who enjoys a scramble and more technical routes the 3 peaks is a must over Toubkal alone. Organisation was great throughout and the guides were excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Had a great experience doing this challenge. Both guides, Muhammed and Said were great the whole time and the food was very good throughout. I actually enjoyed climbing the other 2 peaks more than Toubkal so they are well worth adding on. Marrakech is also a great city to visit. Overall a great trip, one I enjoyed so much I am looking to come back to climb Toubkal in winter.

I’ve just completed the 3 Peaks Challenge in Morocco with Much Better Adventures, and I genuinely can’t recommend it enough. This trip far exceeded my expectations – it’s not just about ticking off Toubkal; the inclusion of the two other peaks, the varied and remote routes, and the incredible scramble make this a truly epic adventure from start to finish.

The whole experience was incredibly well-organised. The support team and guides were phenomenal – professional, passionate, and relentlessly dedicated to our safety and enjoyment. They kept spirits high no matter the conditions and made everyone feel supported throughout. Their knowledge of the mountains and local culture added so much depth to the journey.

There was plenty of food at every stage, and the logistics – from mountain huts to summit pushes – ran seamlessly. What really stood out for me was the camaraderie within the group and how well the guides brought everyone together to make this feel like a shared adventure rather than just a challenge.

If you’re looking for something more than just a one-day summit, this is the trip to book. It’s tough, it’s rewarding, and it’s absolutely unforgettable. Thank you to the whole team – I’ll be reliving this experience for a long time to come!

Great crew + (ascend + descend + miles ) / (time + MAD)

Climbing the peaks is an incredible experience - would recommend to anyone! The mountain refuge is a bit basic and crowded, which makes it tricky to recover, but overall a brilliant trip

We had an unforgettable time in Morocco last weekend taking on the Three Peaks Challenge with Much Better Adventures. Seven of us made the journey, and we were incredibly lucky to be guided by three outstanding professionals—experienced, friendly, and always ready with a smile or a joke. Their knowledge of the mountains and attention to our safety meant we could focus on enjoying the experience. We always felt supported, encouraged, and in safe hands. The camaraderie with the guides made the adventure even more special—lots of laughs, great conversations, and memories we’ll be talking about for a long time. A truly amazing adventure from start to finish.

Excellent trip. The guides were amazing

Excellent experience from start to finish. Transfers, riad accommodation pre and post trek as well as the mountain refuge were all very pleasant and clean.

Our guide (Mohammed) as well a the other guides were lovely, insightful and caring. The guides catered to the ability of everyone in the group, ensuring that nobody was left out or strayed from the group.

The food at the mountain refuge was of a good standard and there was always more than we needed.

Excellent experience for mind body and soul

Loved the whole experience, no issues other than headache and nausea which I expected given there is very little time to get used to the altitude. I found the ascents very difficult especially the last 10% but the trip is described as ‘challenging’ so is to be expected. Guides were great as was food, although loss of appetite means I couldn’t fully appreciate it. A little disappointed with the misty weather when climbing the sister peaks but that’s mountains for you. But sunrise at the upper ridge on Toubkal was mesmerising and brought several of the group to tears, myself included. There was a fantastic mix of folks in the group and we all made the summit of Toubkal. A proposal at the top of one couple made it even more memorable (she said yes!) We found the queues at the airport both in and out very tiresome but obviously that is not an MBA issue.

Very good organized ... I liked the tour very much :)

Wow! What a trip! The team at Much Better Adventures made this a really easy trip to be part of - all the logistics were well communicated, our extra night was simple to organise, and pre arranged collection from the airport took all of the stress out of the travel.

The local team in Morocco were even better, and I can't praise them highly enough! Our guide, Mohamed, was excellent, and ensured the team was well supported throughout the trip. The pace uphill was just right - steady, but allowing for conversation. When a team member didn't feel well (altitude), this was managed quickly, and with compassion.

Generally, the walking was straight forward, with the main challenge being the altitude. Doing the extra day of walking (instead of only summiting Jbel Toubkal) made it much easier to be comfortable on the summits as we had some additional time to acclimatise. Having not been at this high altitude before, I was surprised how much it added to the challenge. The extra day for the two additional summits gave awesome views, and a much less busy route - easily my favourite day of the trip!

Staying in the refuge was good fun. We were lucky to have had a dorm for our group, so didn't need to worry about waking others on the sunrise summit day. Food in the refuge was authentic and plentiful, A small tuckshop was open in the afternoons for coffee/snacks in case of wanting anything supplementary.

The group dynamic was perfect - everyone was enthusiastic and invested in enjoying the trip. The group I was with was roughly even genders, and a mix of couples, friends and singletons across a wide spread of ages.

Overall, a 10/10 experience!

The hikes were enjoyable and challenging, with excellent views. It was a good challenge to see how the body responded to the higher altitude. The food was great and the guides really looked after us. I think a better description could be given for this trip’s difficulty. There was a big disparity in the group in terms of fitness levels and experience - many struggled with the scrambling sections on Day 2

Unreal trip from start to finish! My luggage got lost on the way over to Morocco which made it a bit more difficult without any clothes or equipment. Arriving late the night before the itinerary started, I feared I would not be able to go on the trip at all. After speaking with the people at aztat treks who were the local guides arranging everything for us, they reassured me that I would still be able to take part in the trip and that they would help in any way they can. They have a rental shop to provide the essentials and other people on the trip also helped me out with basics such as clothes and toiletries. even with this huge inconvenience the trip was still manageable, albeit more challenging. Met some amazing people and you can see from the views that it was worth every second! Will be back for more next year for bigger and better!

Had an amazing time doing the 3 peaks challenge in Morocco. Challenging but soo beautiful and rewarding. Good fitness recommended and plenty of layers for the summit. The team of guides took very good care of us

Great trip, would highly recommend

Amazing adventure and great guides!!

We had an absolutely wonderful time for our 3 peaks challenge in Morocco. The local guides were incredibly welcoming and supportive. They attended to all of our needs and were kind and patient. There was ample amounts of delicious food, locally sourced and prepared. The refuge was a comfortable place to sleep and recover after several long hours on the mountains. Views are truly incredible. An unforgettable experience to supplement your Moroccan adventure!

Would recommend but in hindsight I think I would have preferred to have just done Mt Toubkal. The Twin Peaks were phenomenal and views were stunning but sketchy route that isn't very well trodden and arguably a bit dangerous especially in the wind!

Couldn't recommend Much Better Adventures and the amazing guide, cook, driver, and all round super logistics!

All round this was a great experience! A couple of long and tough days trekking but the views were well worth it (particularly the summit of Toubkal at sunrise!). The guides were great and ensured we were all well looked after. Would highly recommend if looking for a short yet challenging adventure

Great trip, really well organised, clear instructions for timings/ packings/ airport transfers. Would recommend!

Perfect! Good Food; excellent guides and trails challenging enough... Top!

I recently completed the 3 Peaks Challenge in Morocco, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. The trip was meticulously organized, and the guides were exceptional. They ensured everyone could hike at their own pace, making the challenging ascents manageable for all. The group's average pace was comfortable and allowed us to fully appreciate the breathtaking scenery.

The food was absolutely fantastic – far exceeding my expectations. Each meal was a feast, plentiful and delicious, keeping us well-nourished and energized throughout the journey. The sense of community among the group was wonderful; it was great to connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for hiking and adventure.

The guides were not only knowledgeable and supportive but also incredibly friendly. They made sure everyone felt safe and encouraged, fostering a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re an experienced hiker or new to mountain trekking, this adventure strikes the perfect balance between challenge and enjoyment.

I highly recommend this hiking experience to anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure in the stunning Atlas Mountains. The combination of superb food, amazing guides, and a fantastic group of people made this trip truly memorable.

An incredible adventure, excellently planned and executed by the whole team who looked after us, very well paced to suit the whole group and manage our time at altitude. Amazing food and even better views this is definitely worth doing.
