Climb Mount Toubkal (4167m): The Winter Edition

Can't recommend it enough! I went at the end of January and we got snow, sun and an incredible sunrise. Refuge is not for the faint hearted but it's all part of the fun. A perfect weekend adventure.

This was truly a trip of a lifetime. The group I was with were all fantastic and caring of each other. The guides, chefs, and handlers were extremely thoughtful.

The trek was truly one of the toughest challenges I've ever done. I may not have been able to summit, but I certainly will be coming back again.

Thank you to MBA, but especially our mountain guides Mustapha and Mohammed, for being such a wonderful pair!

From the vibrant and busy Marrakech to the sleepy mountain village of Imlil, the heat of the city to the snow capped summit of Toubkal, this trip had everything we had hoped for.

The tour group were fantastic, we supported each other to ensure we reached the summit. The food, guides, questionable refuge accommodation all made the experience, I would highly recommend.

Thank you for enabling me to share such a memorable experience with my wife.

Fabulous adventure on Mount Toubkal with a lovely bunch of people. We shared meals together, slept in a dorm with bunk beds strewn with damp clothes, and shared stories. Day 2 was acclimatisation to the Titzi pass in rough weather - blowing hail and snow most of the way. Day 3 we set off for Mount Toubkal at 5am having risen at 4am. It had snowed in the night, but wind had dropped and as we got to the first ridge dawn rose and we could see mountains all around. The top was in true winter conditions, lots of snow and -18c windchill. A brilliant experience, made by the people, the friendly guide team and excellent organisation.

Really enjoyed this. Organisation, communication, guides all spot on. So much fun with a great group. Mixed ages (22-73) and ability ( 5,000m+ - first time), solo and couples. Quite long days especially if you go to the top and back down to Imlil all in one day which we did (4am wake up - 5pm back in imlil though stop for lunch and kit sorting at refuge on way back down) so do need decent leg strength and endurance. The guides were so cheerful and helpful. Really recommend this. Obviously no one can control the weather ;-)

What a fantastic adventure! Well organised, challenging and a fantastic experience. The guides, Mohammad and Said, as well as the supporting team, were friendly, supportive and extremely knowledgable.

I’ll start by saying my legs simply wouldn’t get me to the very top. BUT… I had the most amazing time with my new travel friends and the guides (Abdul, Mohammed and Lassim) were amazing. Everything went like clockwork, even down to text reminders for airport pickup times. The organising and logistics of the trip was so stress-free that I could just focus on all the fun and making memories. The food was always way more than enough and always delicious.

Toubkal is steep and relentless. “Fitness required” is no joke here. I’d like to make a special mention to Mohammed for being there with me every step of the way, ensuring that my morale remained high even when I was digging deep in the gusty cold weather. Even though I didn’t summit this time I simply cannot wait to get back out to Morocco to give it another go as soon as I can.

From start to finish, our Mount Toubkal trek with Much Better Adventures was nothing short of incredible. If you’re looking for a safe, well-organized, and truly memorable adventure, look no further—this company delivers above and beyond expectations.

Right from the booking process, everything was handled seamlessly, ensuring we felt prepared and excited. Upon arrival, we were welcomed into the beautiful Riad Viewpoint, offering the perfect mix of comfort and authenticity. The hospitality was exceptional, with warm smiles and incredible food that kept us energized for the journey ahead.

Our guides, both named Mohammed, were phenomenal—knowledgeable, supportive, and always ensuring we felt safe and confident on the trail. They shared fascinating insights into the local culture, kept the group motivated, and made sure we had plenty of laughs along the way. The climb itself was challenging but deeply rewarding, and reaching the summit of North Africa’s highest peak was an experience we will cherish forever.

Much Better Adventures truly understands what makes a trip special—from carefully chosen accommodations and delicious meals to expert guides who go the extra mile. If you’re considering booking an adventure, do it—you won’t regret it!

This was an amazing trip, was my first expedition with a group, and It couldn't have get better group.

Make friends for life, also the guides were amazing and very pro, the food and accommodation, also very good, and the itinerary also very good.

Fantastic experience climbing Mount Toubkal with a great group of people. Our guides Mohamed and Mustafa and the rest of the crew were excellent. It's a challenging hike but worth it!

Lots of hard work, lots of snow and lots of fun. We attempted to summit on day one before turning back and vast majority of group made the summit. The guides knowledge was essential in this decision, they were great. I must stress this was tough, I made it, vast majority did but you gain a lot of elevation quickly. The hike to the refuge was as tough as half of the summit day.

Toubkal refuge was a great experience, the dorms were fine but I wouldn’t expect a full nights sleep.

Windproofs including gloves essential, the wind and cold really kicks in once you get the the ridge line. Really expensive mountain boots are great but not the be all and end all as crampons are good.

Riyadh was nice as close to centre of Marrakesh. My flights gave me a day or 2 to explore and take in a few activities. Lots of local really good food in Marrakesh at good prices, food on the mountains also abundant and tasty, especially lunches at tea houses and restaurants stops was good.

One of the best experiences of my life!! It was well run and everything was on time. Food was amazing and staff were helpful and polite.

Four days of mountains, laughter and new experiences that will push you physically and mentally, especially ther night-time ascent in the snow. The guides and group were excellent company, and I felt like I got a slice of the real Morocco far away from the crowds.

I was impressed with how well everything was organised, how kind everyone was.

What an incredible trip from start to finish—experiencing the energy of Marrakesh to standing at the top of Mount Toubkal!

Everything was seamlessly organised and communicated, making the entire journey stress-free.

Our guides, Mohammed & Mohammed, were outstanding. They took care of us every step of the way and got us to the summit despite extremely challenging conditions—something we were all hugely grateful for.

One of the best parts of the trip was meeting like-minded people. We had a fantastic group from all walks of life, which made the experience even more special.

I’d highly recommend this trip to anyone who loves a great hike, new experiences, and amazing people! :)

Great trip couldn’t as for better

A lifetime experience, was hard , but take your time and you will make it.

This is the first time booking with much better adventures and probably won’t be the last. From booking the trip through to collection and then drop off at the airport everything was taken care of. The trip was well planned out and everything taken care of. The food was good, the guides were excellent and couldn’t do enough to make the trek as memorable as possible. The trek was tough, and given the effects of the altitude it is not one to be taken lightly so I would advise so walking prior to undertaking this adventure.

We had a great time with Much Better Adventures climbing Mount Toubkal. They handled everything for us - picking us up from the airport, making sure we had the right kit and recommending places to go in Marrakech. The Riad was amazing with great rooms and a brilliant sun roof. The guides were great and we always felt safe up on the mountain.

I would definitely use Much Better Adventures for a hike again.

Had an absolute blast! Got the winter experience with a snow storm while trekking up to the refuge, perfect weather for the summit hike and the best sunrise on our hike the day after the summit. Couldnt scripted it better myself. Food is exceptional (and a lot). The guides. . . 10 out of 10. Professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend it.

​Up we went on icy trails Passing mules along the vales Hot in sun, cold when shaded In our quest to be upgraded

Crystal views of proper mountains Scalding tea rained down in fountains Filled our hearts with simple joy Cleared our minds of office ploy

Friendships blossomed lightning quick We kept a piece, we made a click When airports turned us back around We smiled inside, knew what we'd found

And one thing we'll forever remember Telling tales 'round burning ember Among the many joys and woes: Smallish boots killed Josh's toes

This trip was fantastic! The guides were great, we felt completely safe and well looked after at all times. They went out of their way to make sure the whole group had a great time and made it to the top. The food was great and the scenery was amazing. I’d definitely recommend this trip!

Could not thank all the guides and everyone else involved, from landing to taking off we was very well looked after and every thing went to plan with an incredible group of people.

Would definitely recommend and use these again for my next trip!

The Toubkal winter edition trip with much better adventures was incredible! Every step was taken care of by the team, from airport pickup to summiting Toubkal. The guides were amazing, so friendly and accommodating – I honestly wouldn't have reached the top without them! This is by far the best trip I've been on, and I'm already looking at the next one. Big shout-out to Aztat Treks – amazing! 🤩

A brilliant trip, well organised and well fed. Met lots of new people,all friendly and encouraging each other to summit. Winter conditions added extra fun, with crampons and ice axes being used from the refuge up. A great sense of achievement when I reached the summit.

I would like to say, Thank you, for this adventure! Thanks a lot of Mustafa and Mohamed, our guides to Toubkal for this journey! Highly recommend- Much Better Adventures!!!

An amazing few days trekking in the Atlas Mountains and reaching Morocco's highest peak.

The trip was well organised and communication was excellent throughout.

Our guides, Abdul and Saed, were excellent from start too finish.

The amount of food prepared for us was incredible and delicious every meal.

Thank you MBA, Abdul & Saed

Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish.

The whole trip was organised perfectly, from the meeting at the airport, drop off to the accommodation, Assia's introduction to the area and map, the breakfast and transfer to Imlil, the start point of the trek where we met our guides Mohammed and Mustafa who could not have been more attentive to the groups needs and made sure everyone was well looked after.

If you're looking at this trip and unsure whether to book, as I was, I can assure you there will be no regrets.

The food was fresh, the guides where very knowledgeable and the views where breathtaking.

My first trip with MBA and it will definitely not be my last.

Thank you to everyone involved.

Overall very well organized trip. Super great guides and a lovely group!

A group of three of us went to climb Toubkal in the Winter. Our guides Mohammed and Mustafa were fantastic; they were knowledgeable, kind and approachable and catered to the mix of experience within our group. I couldn't thank them enough for the experience.

The airport transfers, food and nights in a Riad organised by MBA ran smoothly and I couldn't fault their organisation.

I would highly recommend.
