What We Do

Toubkal Climbing Circle 3 Days

A few steps from Marrakech, Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa, rises to 4,167 m above sea level. This summit is relatively easy to access when accompanied by professionals who adapt the pace to suit individual levels and physical conditions. “Premier 4000” is a hike that combines the feat of climbing Toubkal, the discovery of Berber villages and the superb landscapes of the Atlas. From the top you will have a magnificent view of all the mountain ranges and on a clear day you will see the Siroua and Anti Atlas mountains of M’goun and the whole of the Western Atlas as well as Marrakech.
