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 walking with crampons.
Winter Trekking
This is an ideal trip for those who want a demanding week’s trekking stunning mountain scenery and the added challenge of the winter environment. The ascent of Toubkal is not technical but does require some scrambling and depending on weather and snow conditions possibly the use of crampons and perhaps ice axes. The amount of snow can of course vary greatly! We would advise checking the forecast a week before departure.
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 trek 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. This trip is ideal for solo travellers and groups.
