Winter Toubkal
Into the Atlas
After the morning to experience exotic Marrakech you head off into the mountains and get onto the trails. From Aremd you'll climb to Neltner (3200m), the base camp for Toubkal, and undertake several walks to get used to the conditions and acclimatise. With three nights at Neltner there is plenty of time to practice with your ice axe and crampons.
The Roof of North Africa
The main goal of the trip is to summit Jebel Toubkal - North Africa's highest peak (4167m), but there is also time to climb the sister peak Ouanakrim (4088m). Winter is a more challenging time to climb in the mountains but the rewards are truly inspirational. The mountains are capped with snow and the air is crisp and clear making the views immeasurably more breathtaking.
Winter Trekking
This is an ideal trip for those who want a demanding week's walking, stunning mountain scenery and the added challenge of the winter environment. The ascent of Toubkal is not technical but does require some scrambling and the use of crampons and ice axes. The amount of snow can of course vary greatly!
