Standing at 4,167 meters, Mount Toubkal is the highest point in North Africa and one of Morocco’s most rewarding trekking destinations. With its snow-capped peaks, breathtaking views, and welcoming Berber villages, trekking in Toubkal is an unforgettable experience for nature lovers and adventurers alike.
Discover the Atlas Mountains
Your Toubkal adventure begins in Imlil, a picturesque Berber village located about 65 km south of Marrakech. From here, narrow mule trails lead through lush valleys, terraced farmlands, and mountain hamlets where life follows ancient rhythms. Along the way, you’ll meet locals, taste authentic Moroccan cuisine, and experience the warm hospitality of the High Atlas.
The Route to the Summit
The classic Mount Toubkal trek takes two days. Day one takes you from Imlil (1,740 m) to the Toubkal Refuge (Base Camp) at 3,200 m. The second day begins before sunrise as trekkers climb steadily toward the summit. As daylight spreads across the mountains, the views become extraordinary — a sea of peaks stretching toward the Sahara Desert.
Reaching the top of Toubkal is a true highlight for any adventurer. From the summit, you can see as far as the Anti-Atlas and, on clear days, even the dunes of the Sahara shimmering on the horizon.
