This challenge offers a tough, yet incredibly rewarding trek
combining unforgettable mountain scenery with the splendour and colour
of Morocco and its traditional people, the Berbers.
Morocco is a country full of mysticism and mythology, a diverse and
spectacular land. In the midst of it all lies the High Atlas mountain
range, home to Jebel Toubkal one of the tallest peaks in North Africa,
standing at 4,167m.
Reaching the summit of this awesome mountain signifies the peak of
your long weekend trek. You will navigate your way, climbing and
scrambling over huge, obstructive boulders and loose rock of Jebel
Toubkal.
Trekking will be for 5 to 8 hours each day and will be strenuous
yet incredibly rewarding as you trek through peaks scattered with remote
Berber villages.
A good degree of fitness will be required for this trip, however
there is no technical climbing involved. The weather is unpredictable
and can make the going very difficult.
The challenge ends in the vibrant city of Marrakech, where the
southern tribesmen and Berber villagers bring their goods to the souks,
providing plenty of excitement.
