Overview

Toubkal is the highest mountain in North Africa and is the prefect first overseas mountain!

Situated in Morocco, we start our expedition in the vibrant city of Marrakech. The next morning we head into the foot of the Atlas mountains where we reach Imlil, a small Berber village that sits at 1800m. From Imlil a picturesque trail leads through berber villages into the upper Toubkal valley and on to our mountain refuge. To acclimatise we head up the valley towards Toubkals neighbouring peaks Timzguida 4089m & Ras Ouanoukrim 4083m, before an early start the next day allows us to reach the highest point in Morocco for sunrise.

 

Organised and lead by Mountain Expeditions

Mountain Expeditions are expedition specialists – simply put we love organising and delivering world class expeditions. We understand that joining any of our expeditions is a big deal, so we try and make sure everything is perfect from start to finish.

 

UK Expedition Leader

Mountain Expeditions employ a small number of the UK’s most experienced High Altitude Expedition Leaders and we will always send a UK Expedition Leader to facilitate your expedition. All of our leaders are chosen on their individual merits which we base on their mix of vast mountain experience, interpersonal skills and of course, qualifications. Ollie is worked extensively in the outdoors all around the world as well as guiding teams on Toubkal for many years.

 

Local Mountain Guides

With all our expeditions we partner with the very best local in-country agencies who shares our ethos of delivering outstanding expeditions. We believe that a combined leadership team built of a UK Expedition Leader and highly experienced local guides is the strongest and most successful way to deliver our expeditions.

 

Fully supported by local cooks, porters & guides

The truth behind organising and leading worldwide expeditions is that you need an excellent local in-country agent to work with. Over the years Mountain Expeditions have developed a long standing relationship with our local crews and the added value of our friendly and efficient local staff never goes unnoticed – we know it makes a big difference to your experience. Our local team are a huge part of your experience and they make all the difference on the mountain.

 

Very high summit success rate

We believe that our high summit success rate is down to a combination of great teams and using the most experienced High Altitude Expedition Leaders. This combination has shown time and time again that this is the safest approach whilst on the mountain.

 

6 day itinerary with a 4 day trekking route

Our itinerary has been chosen to make this trip the very best we believe it can be. We’ve built in some days to aid your acclimatisation, and of course there are some big days too!

 

The perfect first 4000m mountain

There are many reasons people choose to climb big mountains and many reasons why you might choose to trek up Toubkal. What we can tell you is that choosing Toubkal offers you a realistic opportunity to summit a big mountain without any altitude experience.

 

Accommodation: luxury riad & mountain hut

Many of our expeditions start and finish in a bustling city in a really nice hotel, lodge or riad. Maybe it’s first and last impressions that count or perhaps we just enjoy having nice accommodation when starting and finishing a trip but it’s what we do! Whilst on the mountain we make sure expedition life is as comfortable as possible.
