Morocco Trek to Mount Toubkal

About the area

A one-week Mount Toubkal trek to the summit of North Africa’s highest mountain.

Mt Toubkal stands 4167m above sea level. Its summit is the Atlas Mountains’ highest peak and boasts superb views of the North African landscape. It is the central attraction of Toubkal National Park and lies about 40 miles south of Marrakesh. Most companies off the Mount Toubkal trek in 2 or 3 days. To help with acclimitisation and increase summit chances our trek is 4 days in length.

Marrakesh is home to palaces, mosques and gardens. Visible from miles away is the Moorish minaret – the largest mosque in the city. It is known as the ‘Red City’ because of the buildings and clay that contribute to its make up.

In Morocco, nature is never far away. With desert, mountains, valleys and the coast line, wildlife can be found around every corner! There is plenty to offer fans of the outdoors and hikers of all levels will love walking the Moroccan mountains. Due to the time of year and the altitude, you will probably have the chance to see snow when climbing Mount Toubkal!

The trek

Our Mt Toubkal trek passes through scenery on well-defined paths of the Morocco mountains and consequently, it is not as strenuous as you may think. As the altitude increases, the paths do become steeper but the climb awards dramatic views towards Marrakech and the spectacular Anti-Atlas mountains. We discover an insight into the life and culture of the locals who are unbelievably friendly people when passing through remote Berber villages and terraced fields. Reaching the top of the highest mountain in Morocco is a really unforgettable and authentic experience. We finish the trek with some free time in the colourful imperial city of Marrakech where you can pick up your last minute souvenirs!

What our Customers Say

Here’s what some of our awesome customers had to say:

“This bucket list ticks all boxes!

What can I say? I just back from the Mount Toubkal trip and it has been the experience of a lifetime.

Since I booked this trip, The Bucket List Company have kept in contact with me, asking if needed any help with anything and keeping me updated as well.

On the trip they really do look after you and you get great value for money. They make sure they hire the best local guides to help look after you and those that have the best local knowledge. What I liked about the company is that they help you on the trek and make sure that, if you are struggling a wee bit, they have guides there to encourage you on or go at your pace without rushing you.

If you are looking to tick stuff of your bucket list, they are the ones to make that dream happen. I have already booked Nepal for 2020 and will be looking for a trip in 2021.

“A very easy company to work with – super open, knowledgeable and deep expertise.

Having just come off the Sahara trek, I was impressed with the logistics and just how much fun this was as a single traveler.

If you want to do something cool, irrespective of your own experience, then this is the team to do it with – highly adaptive to individuals with a very pragmatic approach.”

“I had the most amazing time on my Bucket List trip to Morocco. The trip was very well planned. I loved the food, the people on our trip, the places we stayed and of course our guide Gareth, who was absolutely brilliant. I would definitely book another trip in the near future. Thank you for an amazing experience.”

Sabrina Norris

“Just returned from Morroco, where we hit the dizzy heights of Mt. Toubkal. This being my first solo trip, I was pretty nervous, but it was an amazing experience from start to finish with a great group of people. Everything was organised so well – it felt like we moved seamlessly from one environment to the next. I can’t recommend these guys enough, and I know I will certainly be taking more trips with them in the future.”

Stu Blake

Mount Toubkal trek

“Just did the Mt. Toubkal trip and loved everything about it – the places we stayed in, the food we had cooked for us, and the guides Mohammed and Omar, who were lovely and helped us if need be. We had a great bunch of ladies who just kept each other going with plenty of laughter, and our lovely Bucket List guide Gareth (Billy Boy) was brilliant. There was no trying to hurry us up, he just let us go at our own pace, but was there if we needed help or advice.

The company itself have been very helpful before and after the trip – so thank you. Would I go with this company again? YES I WOULD!!! Looking forward to the next trip.”

Sam Batcock

“I have just returned from a Sahara Desert trek with The Bucket List Company, and they were amazing!

What I love about this company is that it does exactly what it says on the tin! No hidden charges, an easy website, very professional, quick response to queries and very reliable. I am a single female traveler so it is very important that I feel safe and confident with the countries and challenges I take on.

I would highly recommend this company to everyone, but especially to female travellers! Want to do something out of your comfort zone that is challenging and rewarding? The Bucket List Company will certainly not disappoint! My advice is ‘go for it’ and get ticking off your bucket list!”
