Expedition – Atlas Mountains, Morocco
Jebel Toubkal has an altitude of 4167 metres (13671 feet) and is situated in Morocco. It is the highest peak in the Atlas Mountains and therefore the highest in North Africa.
This is a trekking expedition, not a climbing expedition and therefore is suitable for hill walkers wishing to complete their first 4000m+ peak without the need for specialist mountaineering equipment.
It is likely to be 5 days in length, with a brief itinerary as follows:
Day 1 – Fly to Marrakech, onward transport to overnight accommodation near to the start of the trek.
Day 2 – Trek for approximately 5 to 6 hours to a mountain hut, where will stay the night.
Day 3 – Summit attempt and return to the mountain hut.
Day 4 – Walk off the mountain to collect onward transport to Marrakech. Sight- seeing.
Day 5 – Potential time for sight-seeing and return flight to the UK
What we will provide -
Experienced Mountain Leaders, first aid capability. Two night’s accommodation in a riad and two nights’ accommodation in a mountain hut. It also includes all transport in Morocco and all food will be provided for.
What you will need to provide -
Personal clothing and equipment - If you are a hill walker I'm sure you will have all the equipment needed. Flights to and from Marrakech airport, airport taxes and baggage allowance. Detailed equipment list will be provided.
* Ad hoc expenses including meals
* Insurance
Determination - This is not an expedition where you need to be super fit. This mountain is most certainly achievable by hill walkers.
Sense of adventure! - This is North Africa, remember. We won't be staying in a 5 star hotel, but using comfortable local accommodation
The expeditions are usually run between April and May; then again in September and October. Please contact us for further details and dates.
