Is this trip right for you?
verified
High Atlas Mountains can be very cold in the winter, with feel-like temperature reaching -20⁰C (or more on extreme days!), so you must have the appropriate footwear and clothing. To be fully prepared, please follow the recommended clothing list closely. As your luggage will be carried up the mountain by mules, we ask that you have no more than 1 bag (duffle bag or rucksack) weighing no more than 16 kgs and a small rucksack for trekking essentials.
verified
Winter weather can be unpredictable in high mountains so we may need to make itinerary changes to keep the group safe and well at all times. If this occurs, we will do our best to find comparable activities and experiences

Great way to see Morocco if you’ve not been before and love the challenge of a mountain hike. A couple of days around Marrakesh was just enough to make me want to go back for more!

I had never trekked up a mountain as high as Toubkal before and especially not in winter but our amazing guide Mohamed Id Blaid really looked after us. He was so friendly and knowledgeable about the mountain and the area that I felt totally safe at all times. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!

One of the best trips I’ve ever done. A once in a lifetime opportunity. Mohamed, our guide, was incredible. Knowledgeable, professional, witty and caring. I certainly wouldn’t have made it to the top of Mt Toubkal without his help.
Thank you

The Mount Toubkal Winter Trek is a once in a lifetime opportunity. It was one of the most challenging treks I had done but it was worth ever steep step. Safety was always a priority and the group was very well cared for by our amazing tour guide Mohamed. I cannot thank Mohamed enough for his care and professionalism throughout the whole trip.

This was an amazing trip. The scenery was stunning, and our guide Muhammed was very capable and made us all feel safe and welcome. He showed us a side of Morocco that few tourists get to see. Hope to trek with him again in the future, and visit his village of Aroumd.
Mount Toubkal is a challenging climb, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to push themselves to their limit.

I recently completed an incredible hiking trip through Marrakesh, the Atlas Mountains, and Mount Toubkal, and I can't recommend it enough! The guides and assistant guides were outstanding—highly knowledgeable about the land and the area, which made the entire journey feel safe and well-organized. Their expertise and care ensured we were always looked after, and I felt completely at ease throughout the trek.
The food was another highlight, with an abundance of delicious traditional Moroccan dishes provided at every meal. I was never hungry, and the variety kept me excited for every mealtime. The accommodation was equally enjoyable, a well-balanced mix of refuge camps and comfortable lodging, each adding its own charm to the experience.
I was particularly pleased to find that many of the facilities, such as toilets, were Western-style, which was a pleasant surprise, and the showers were good quality—just don’t forget to pack shower shoes for the camps!
One of the most memorable aspects of the trip was the group of like-minded travelers I had the pleasure of sharing it with. Their company made the experience even more special, fostering a sense of camaraderie as we conquered trails together.
Having been on a few Intrepid trips, I can confidently say they consistently deliver excellence. This adventure was no exception. If you're considering this trek, I highly recommend it. It’s a perfect mix of stunning landscapes, cultural immersion, and well-thought-out logistics that ensure you're well-fed, comfortable, and safe throughout.

A challenging but rewarding hike. The views from both summits are spectacular. The shared beds at Basecamp are a unique experience - you really get to know your travelling companions.

This trip was an excellent balance between providing a level of physical challenge alongside enjoyment and a sense of achievement. If you are lucky to have snow as, you will be rewarded with stunning landscapes. Lahcen was a fantastic guide, welcoming and friendly from the very first moment. He and Hussein took great care of our safety and wellbeing as well as making sure we enjoyed the time in the mountain to the fullest. Being a local from the High Atlas, he was a source of insight into Berber life and their relationship with the mountain. The meals we had during the trek were an added highlight - above and beyond what you would expect in the mountains.
