TOUBKAL SUMMIT 4,167M CIRCULAR TREKKING
He Mount Toubkal, At 4,167 meters, it is the highest peak in North Africa. It is located in Toubkal National Park, in Morocco, which was established during the French protectorate in 1942. It covers an area of 100,000 hectares and is situated in the Western High Atlas Mountains, between the N'Fiss and Ourika valleys
Toubkal is a volcanic mountain range. Its narrow valleys, Berber culture, adobe buildings, terraced fields, rock carvings, abundant flora and fauna, and the warm hospitality of its people make this trek an absolute must.
We will do a circular trek, ascending gradually to improve our acclimatization to the Azzadene Valley. It is a circular trek to ascend Toubkal, without doing it in the usual and most common way, with the special bonus of reaching the summit. An experience you shouldn't miss and a unique opportunity to discover these spectacular mountains and a fascinating and different culture, which we are lucky to have so close by.
We'll have an extra day to enjoy the ancient city of Marrakech, ...of its wonderful culture, gastronomy, markets,...
