Who said Morocco was all sand, sun and sea?! Join us on a winter trek up Toubkal and you’ll probably see snow too.

If you want to tick a serious mountain off your Bucket List but you’re not the most experienced of climbers just yet, Toubkal is the perfect peak to set your sights upon (and your crampons). On our longer winter Toubkal trek, you’ll spend 5 days hiking to the highest peak in North Africa, which will both challenge and reward you at every turn. On your way to the summit, you’ll learn about Berber life, see some of the most spectacular views on the planet, and test the strength of your calves too.

Experience the unforgettable and discover one of Africa’s most authentic hidden gems as you conquer the majestic Mount Toubkal. (And yes, of course, you’ll get the chance to barter with the souks in Marrakech too.)

Mount Toubkal Winter Trek Itinerary

You will meet your Bucket List Leaders at the airport and fly out as a group for Bucket Lister + Trips. If you have booked a Bucket Lister Trip we will see you in Morocco soon!

If you have Transfers with us we will take you to the hotel. For those making their own way – we will see you in Marrakech.

Special Information: Your adventure begins with a Welcome Meeting at 6pm today.

You will be picked up from your hotel in Marrakech, and be driven to the high Atlas mountains. Drop off is at Aguersioual village where you will be met by the local team. Once the luggage has been loaded onto mules you’ll set off trekking towards Tizi n’Auguersioual pass from where you will have amazing views over the Imnane & Imlil valleys. After a short break on the pass, you will continue walking downhill towards the river. Once you’ve crossed it you’ll walk uphill along the Imnane valley towards the last village in the valley.

After breakfast, you will walk along the road towards Tizi n’Tamater pass from where you will have another view over Imlil valley. We continue walking downhill to Imlil, where you will have lunch & spend the night. Overnight at a guesthouse.

Trek towards the Berber villages of Aremd (1843m), Taourirt, and Targa Imoula; we stop at Aremd to visit this village in the Assif Ait Maizane Valley, built seemingly house upon house on a moraine spur. We then carry on to the equally-quaint village of Sidi Chamharouch, a Berber village set beside a waterfall and small stream. We take a break for a picnic, within full view of mighty Jbel Toubkal; at 4167m, the highest peak in the Maghreb. Our last stretch of the day takes us to our overnight accommodation at the Toubkal Refuge.

Today is an acclimatisation walk to Tizi Ouanoums pass, from where you will see Ifni Lake. Back to the Refuge.

Climb up to the highest peak in North Africa, where you will have great views over the Atlas mountains. You’ll descend via the same route to the refuge, where you’ll stay overnight.

Descend from the refuge at 3207m, to Imlil at 1740m, then return to Marrakech.

Today is a free day for you to explore Marrakech, or enjoy some well-deserved R&R after your trek.

This marks the end of our Moroccan adventure.
