At 4,167m, Mount Toubkal is the highest mountain in North Africa. The hike to the summit is challenging, but it requires no mountaineering experience and the view from its summit makes the hard work worthwhile.
Day 1: Marrakech - Imlil - Toubkal Refuge:
After a transfer to the village of Imlil we begin our trek. Heading along the Maizane Valley, we first pass the village of Armed and then onto the shrine of Sidi Chamharouch. We then continue our journey by crossing the floodplains.
Day 2: Toubkal Refuge - Toubkal Summit - Imlil - Marrakech:
Jebel Toubkal, the highest peak in Northern Africa. Our road takes us to the south circus, crossing the stream above the refuge. The walking is relatively straightforward, but the screwy and the altitude will be quite difficult.

Toubkal
Amazing experience. Jamal our guide was super friendly and guided us brilliantly. A two day trip, with a really comfortable stay at the refuge. Felt very safe the entire time with him as he knew the mountains so well. 100% recommend to anyone looking for a hard but worthwhile hike

Amazing company
What an amazing experience we had with this company. Met promptly by guide Lahcen in our lobby we trekked into the stunning Atlas Mountains. Lahcen was a fantastic guide, highly competent with local knowledge and insight, he also managed to inspire my 8 year old son who was struggling a bit in the heat. The hike, the company of our guide., the making bread in the village and the delicious lunch we had made this one of our favourite days in Morocco!

Toubkal, Marrakesh and The Atlas mountain range North Africa
Morocco and all it delivers, an amazing country, the trek up and down the valleys on the way to Toubkal is amazing and beautiful. Lahcen personally helped me overcome the challenges that the mountain brings, would only recommend to do this this (like any mountain) with seasoned experienced guides.
The Atlas mountains range is one to enjoy, the company, the delicious food and places to stay on the way all add to the experience.
If you get the chance to experience the Hamman in the villages do it! - its an experience you will not forget.
Morocco - amazing experience and much recommended.

The best at a very fair price!
Lahcen leaves no stone unturned to ensure a great experience. Expedition food was amazing. I changed the itinery at short notice during the trip and was amazed how ell I was accommodated.
Not aware of the problem with some payment cards - Lahcen was hugely helpful and even managed to find a solution with out making me feel awkward.
One word of advice - do the trip!!

Tekk in the Atlas and Toubkal
Unique 7-day stay in the Atlas Mountains passing from village to village Berbers , from pass to pass, night in sheepfold, Berber tent and homestay, ending with the ascent of the Toubkal and the festival of Eid in the village of Imlil a la casa du Toubkal.
Lahcen is a true mountain professional, warm, competent and extremely kind. I was alone with him and our mule driver throughout the journey and we shared wonderful moments of exchange and sharing. The landscapes of the atlas and this moment of life left their mark on me forever.
I highly recommend you have this wonderful experience.

Friendly and knowledgeable guide for a safe trek in beautiful Atlas
We were a group of 6 friends trekking in the Atlas. Our guide, Lahcen was recommended by some other friend who provided excellent feedback on the experience and it was beyond expectations! Lahcen speaks many languages amongst wich Berbere, Arabic, French, English, Spanish and Italian. Perhaps some german too. Lahcen grew up in the Atlas and followed his father'/ career path as a mountain guide. Therefore he knows everyone in the area and every bit and pieces of the mountain he can truly call it home. Be it Summer or Winter, Lahcen will always put you on the safe track. He will spot the strenghts and weaknesses of the group and adapt the pace and itinary accordingly. We were accompanied by 3 cooks and 2 donkeys carrying our equipment and food. They prepared tasty meals, always nicely presented. The food was prepared safely so none of us got sick. It was the perfect setting to enjoy a 3 day trekking journey in the Atlas. At the end of the trip, as we arrived early in Imlil, Lahcen welcomed us for a traditional tea in his family where we met his father who was a mointain guide before him. Now it is our turn to strongly recommend Lahcen and his team. Contrary to other guides, Lahcen regularly follows external training on first aid, lamguages courses and other types of certicifation which makes him a safe and always up to date guide!

Exceptional ascents with Lahcen
We are a group of 6 friends and we had the chance to discover the high Atlas for 3 days with Lahcen with 3 peaks of 4000m on the program! Lahcen was an exceptional guide, making us discover the Berber culture, the particularities of the toubhkal, his experiences as a guide while being natural, funny and spontaneous! Lahcen had been recommended to us by friends we clearly were not disappointed, super guide and super team with Jamal and Hamid! In particular, I would like to highlight the patience and mountaineering of Lahcen, who accompanied several people in the group through difficult times technically by assuring and reassuring them.

3 days hiking in Atlas
3 wonderful days, hiking in perfect conditions (weather, perfect guide, food)
The landscapes were beautiful. We saw the sun rising.
A trip I will remember my whole life.
I am quite beginner in high mountain hiking and thanks to Lahcen I felt completely confident. He took care, a lot of time and paid attention. Explained a lot of cultural, environmental things.
I warmly recommend this trek.
Thanks a lot Lahcen for this experience
