63 kilometres south of Marrakesh looms Mt. Toubkal (4,167m), North Africa’s highest peak.
The mountain oversees the jagged peaks of the High Atlas in the north, the modest Anti-Atlas mountain range to the south and the sprawling Sahara beyond.
Trekking to Toubkal’s peak takes you through fertile lowland floodplains and traditional Berber villages nestled precariously in the mountainside.
The network of gîtes, availability of muleteers and short hiking times make this peak ideal for any mountaineering toe-dipper. Late spring to late autumn is the most popular time to hike Toubkal. But when winter settles in and trails empty out, tackling this peak becomes a serene mini-expedition.
For many, ascending Toubkal is the gateway into the addictive world of summit conquering.
