Experience Overview
Whether you’re a newbie trekker or a well-travelled walker, this hiking trip in Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains is sure to lure you in.
Whether you’re a newbie trekker or a well-travelled walker, this hiking trip in Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains is sure to lure you in. From colourful Marrakech, this seven-day trip will see you staying in mountain gites and hiking huts, trekking through mountain scenery and reaching the ‘roof of North Africa’ with an expert crew and some trusty pack mules. Climb to the summit of Jebel Toubkal, or Mount Toubkal, from base camp and discover a renewed love for mountainous landscapes and the adventure of being thousands of metres above sea level. As this trip gives you a day to acclimatise to the altitude and traverse the villages at your own pace, it’s perfect for trekkers of any level.
Highlights
- Strap on your hiking shoes and summit the highest peak in North Africa – Mount Toubkal – with your local expert guide leading the way.
- Get a real taste of adventure on your trek through the rugged Atlas Mountains and marvel at the spectacular scenery at every turn with views across the mountain ranges, Sahara Desert and Atlantic coast.
- Experience local life after hiking to your accommodation in a traditional gite (mountain house) in an Amazigh village nestled high in the Atlas Mountains.
- Enjoy a comfortably paced trekking trip – this trip is designed for hikers of all abilities, allowing less experienced trekkers to tackle this fantastic mountain peak and discover a passion for hiking, mountain climbing and exploring.
- Embrace the vibrant souqs, sights, sounds and smells of Marrakech on a walking tour of the medina and visit to Bahia Palace. With your local guide leading the way, you'll uncover all the best spots and learn more about the culture.
- By travelling on this trip, you’ll directly support our Intrepid Foundation partner, Education for All. Donations help them support girls in the High Atlas Mountains through secondary school, bringing a generation of women out of the cycle of illiteracy, poverty and early marriage.

I would encourage everyone to do this trip to Mount Toubkal. It is an amazing experience and is so well organised. The guide we had Omar went beyond his role for us, and made the experience feel so submissive.

Very much enjoyed this trip with a great group, and a great guide Omar. The hiking definitely requires a decent level of fitness, especially when descending on scree, so good to be aware of that in advance. The gite in Aroumd is vey peaceful, and the views of the night sky in the mountains are incredible! Note that travelling in August, Marrakech is very hot, so this part of the trip was a little less comfortable, but the temperatures in the mountains were lovely. Would definitely recommend this trip for anyone outdoorsy who wants to see the more peaceful side of Morocco!

This trek was amazing and so well organized. Omar was kind and very approachable. He made sure that every single one of us made it to the summit and back down safely.

The trip has really changed my perception of Morrocco. I thought of the country to be like what is seen in the films with the souks. However, to stand at the top in the majesty of the Atlas as the sun rose was a perfect honeymoon experience. One I will cherish forever - Thank you Intrepid. Our guide Omar Ait Ahmad was the catalyst that made the trip exceptional, it was his enthusiasm and professionalism that made this trip 5 stars for me.

This trip is not to be underestimated - the climb is tough, very rocky terrain including boulder hopping in parts. Also consider altitude issues ! if you are well prepared it is a very rewarding experience.
07/04/2023
This was the first trekking holiday I had ever done, as well as the first one at altitude. I was nervous to say the least. Im glad to say all our group managed to reach the summit. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. I recommend it to everyone. It has changed my future outlook on life and has encouraged me to take any challenge in my stride. Thank you

What a fantastic adventure - a great physical challenge combined with a lovely cultural experience shared with a group of like-minded people. From arrival to departure, we all had a good time thanks to our exceptional group leader, Omar and his team! The memories of the view from the Toubkal summit along with the fantastic stay at Imlil/Aroumd, being welcomed like family during Eid celebration by Omar and Hassan's family and the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh will stay with us for a long time!

Mt Toubkal hike was well worth it, specially with our guide Hussain, which made it even that much better with his local knowledge, organisation skills and laughters along the way. Most definitely recommend and tick of a bucket list.

This trip was great! Really enjoyed the experience. The hike was difficult but doable. Our guide, Omar, was phenomenal, and everything about the trip exceeded my expectations. As a packing note, I didn't bring a sleeping bag and ended up just fine with sweatshirts, long sleeves, and fuzzy socks. Would also recommend bringing an overnight bag inside your suitcase since most people left their suitcases in the Marrakesh hotel and took just overnight bags into the mountains for the 4 days of hiking, which was perfect.
