About This Tour
Challenge yourself on Morocco’s most iconic mountain adventure with this thrilling 4-day trek to the summit of Mount Toubkal (4,167 m), the highest peak in North Africa. Starting from Marrakech, travel into the heart of the High Atlas Mountains where dramatic valleys, cascading rivers, and traditional Berber villages set the scene for an unforgettable alpine experience.
Following the classic Aït Mizane Valley route, you’ll pass the pilgrimage site of Sidi Chamharouch before climbing to the Toubkal Refuge, your base camp for summit night. After conquering the peak at sunrise and enjoying breathtaking panoramic views across the Atlas range, spend time recovering in the mountains before descending gently back to civilization.
Designed with extra acclimatization and comfort, this itinerary is ideal for adventurous hikers looking for a rewarding high-altitude experience without rushing the climb.

Wake early for a pre-dawn start and begin the ascent around 5:00 a.m., climbing steadily over rocky slopes toward the summit ridge. Reach the top of Mount Toubkal (4,167 m) after approximately 3–4 hours and celebrate with incredible sunrise views over the Atlas Mountains and distant Sahara plains.
Descend carefully back to the refuge for lunch and spend the afternoon resting, exploring nearby valleys, or enjoying hot drinks while soaking up the mountain atmosphere.
