Expedition Highlights
Discover the wild spirit of Morocco on an unforgettable 5-day expedition through the High Atlas Mountains — a journey built for those who crave challenge, culture, and connection.
Across six days of trekking, you’ll wind through deep valleys, cross lofty mountain passes, and explore hidden Berber hamlets where time moves with the rhythm of the land. Our route weaves through untouched terrain and culminates in the summit of Mount Toubkal (4,167 m) — North Africa’s highest peak. Though non-technical, the climb demands grit, focus, and a passion for the mountains.
Expect sweeping panoramas, rugged ridge lines, and the warmth of Berber hospitality — shared mint tea, laughter, and mountain life at its most authentic.
After the mountains, Marrakech awaits — a city alive with colour, spice, and sound — where the hum of the souks and the glow of the evening call to prayer mark the perfect end to this Moroccan adventure.
A trek of altitude and attitude — where the mountains reveal both Morocco and yourself. Mt Toubkal suits all level of hiker and ability.
