Mount Toubkal Ascent Trek

Descriptions

3-Day Mount Toubkal Ascent Trek: The Toubkal massif, part of the High Atlas, reveals itself to curious trekkers and lovers of Toubkal hiking. Jbel Toubkal (Djebel Toubkal), of volcanic origin, is composed of Jurassic and Cretaceous formations.

The Mount Toubkal ascent trek, with its highest point at 4167 meters, is the highest peak in all of North Africa. This summit is visible from the surrounding mountains. Our Toubkal trek leads us to discover lunar landscapes, passing through tiny villages clinging to mountainsides, bordered by walnut trees, apple trees, and terraced fields, where only mountain passes allow travel from one valley or village to another.
