After the morning to experience exotic Marrakech you head off into the mountains and get onto the trails. From Aremd you’ll climb to Neltner (3200m), the base camp for Toubkal, and undertake several walks to get used to the conditions and acclimatise. With three nights at Neltner there is plenty of time to practice walking with crampons.

The main goal of the trip is to summit Jebel Toubkal - North Africa’s highest peak (4167m), but there is also time to climb the sister peak Ouanakrim (4088m). Winter is a more challenging time to trek in the mountains but the rewards are truly inspirational. The mountains are capped with snow and the air is crisp and clear making the views immeasurably more breathtaking.

Transport- Minibus, on foot. Distinctive Accommodation- Hotel (2nts), refuge (3nts), gite (2nts). Meals included- 7 breakfasts, 5 lunches & 5 dinners.

Experience of winter walking and crampon/ice axe use helpful but not essential. Previous trekking experience critical as the hiking is strenuous. Mules/porters carry main luggage.
