Explore Berber Villages and Climb Toubkal
Do you want to get off the beaten track and experience traditional Berber village life before making an ascent of the highest mountain in North Africa? Then this trek is for you!
For the first two days we will take you into the lesser known valleys where you will trek through villages in the mountains, enjoy the tranquil environment and slowly wind your way up the beautiful valleys. Then we will head over towards the refuges, perhaps summiting Aguelzim on the way for the incomparable views of Toubkal from the summit. Once based at the high mountain refuge the main ascent begins, with ample time to acclimatise to the altitude. On your return to Imlil you will have experienced something which many of the peak-baggers will have missed – you will have sen first-hand how the fascinating Berbers have lived here for generations, and you will also have climbed the highest mountain in North Africa!
Jebel Toubkal. 4167m. The highest mountain in all of North Africa
