Tour Overview
With the support of an English-speaking guide, private to your party, you'll begin in the Ochre City of Marrakech. Known for its blend of tradition and modernity, Marrakech promises incomparable sensations as you stroll through the colourful Jemaa El-Fna square and into the maze of fragrant souks.
The small Berber village of Imlil is where your walking begins. Journey through the enchanting landscapes of the High Atlas, admiring spectacular scenery as you climb ever higher towards your summit goal. Winding mule tracks and striking mountain scenery accompany you all the way to 4,167m where you'll be rewarded with unmatched panorama across the tranquil valleys and lower summits of the High Atlas range. The achievement of standing on the summit of Mount Toubkal is unforgettable!
Your descent brings you back to Imlil and onwards to the fascinating sights of Marrakech where you'll have some spare time to continue your exploration. What better way to celebrate such a rewarding and incredible adventure than to spend two nights relaxing in the coastal village of Essaouira. Where the ancient medina meets the Atlantic Ocean, Essaouira is a leisurely escape. If you're still feeling active, we have optional activities on offer including surfing, cooking classes, yoga, and a guided tour of the village.
We have selected high-quality hotels in both Marrakech and Essaouira* (*applicable to our extension only). Within the Atlas Mountains, you will stay in good quality, traditional riads and refuges, always with a private room. Your luggage will be transported for you, leaving you free to discover all that this remarkable country has to offer.
