The challenge

The Atlas Mountains located in Morocco are the back drop to this fantastic trekking challenge. You will trek through this magnificent mountain range in order to reach the summit of its highest peak - Mount Toubkal (4,167 metres, 13,671 feet) - the highest point in north Africa!

Trekking for three consecutive days, you will experience stunning scenery, breathtaking views across north Africa, and the warmness and friendliness of locals during this challenge. Life has changed very little for the Berber people of this region and you will be lucky enough to witness first hand their culture and lifestyle as the real Morocco is discovered.
