Peaks of the Atlas

Into the Atlas

Leaving colourful Marrakech you drive to the mountains and, where the road ends, continue on foot. You'll feel like you have entered another world and from the small foothill village of Aremd, you'll adjust to your new surroundings by enjoying some short warm up walks. The anticipation builds and the adventure really begins as you trek through the High Atlas, travelling from one small Berber village to another.

Jebel Toubkal Summit

Skirting the east side of Toubkal you enter the southern Atlas and traverse a desolate wilderness of huge boulders to reach the once glacial Lac d'Ifni. Then you'll make a base at Neltner before tackling the final steep walk to the summit of Jebel Toubkal (4167m). You will be exhilarated by your sense of achievement as you stand on top of the highest peak in North Africa!
