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!

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

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!

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.

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.

Go with Mohamed Id Blaid! Kudos to him for managing a group of 9 individuals ranging from 18 years old to 68 years old. Bravo. Incredible experience. I felt so well, the trek was such an amazing experience.

This was my first trip with Intrepid and I’ll definitely be doing another. The trip was well organised with just the right level of challenge. Our guide was excellent, looking after the needs of the whole group, as well as being friendly and informative.

This is a remote strenuous trip up steep, boulder-covered slopes. You need to be 100% fit and healthy plus have checked all your equipment before going. Poles are a must even for younger treckers to be safe (I never use walking poles normally but needed them on the final day climb).
The guides are excellent, strong and capable of dealing with people struggling which is a great plus that made me feel much safer. Several people either:
- Did not make it to the top due to strength/altitude sickness and were escorted down; or
- Struggled to come down and were helped down safely by the guides.
The mountain refuge was much better than I expected with hot water, mini shop, clean toilets and good food.
The guides also ensured the pace was kept very gentle and kept the group together so anyone reasonably fit could get to the top.
I would certainly recommend having an extra few days in Marakesh in addition to this holiday.
I am a very fit 64-year-old and made it to the top easily but my boots were not big enough making the return painful and two back toes to prove it.
Overall, if you like strenuous hiking routes, this would be an excellent holiday to choose.

Starting our ascent of Toubkal just before dawn to reach the summit about four hours later was a lifetime experience. Our group was led superbly by Mohammed and Ibrahim, who throughout our trip looked after us as friends and ensured not only our safety but our enjoyment at all times.
