Peaks of the Atlas

This energetic trip combines superb mountain walking with the unforgettable experience of mixing with Berber communities and the evocative city of Marrakech.

You'll have ten days of challenging mountain walking in the majestic High Atlas range. There are a number of high peaks in the area and the plan is to trek to the summit of at least one - Mt. Toubkal, the highest in North Africa (4,167 metres). There are also opportunities to climb both Oukaimeden (3,262m) and Ouanakrim (4,088m). The planned route takes you in a circle across some high passes and through the most stunning scenery of the area. During the trek you camp or stay in simple gites sampling the traditional way of life of the local people.

Finally you return to the exotic city of Marrakech where you have time to explore this fascinating city, relax, do some haggling in the souk and get scrubbed clean in a traditional Hamman.
