Overview

This wonderful two week holiday takes you on a fantastic trekking journey through the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco all the way to the summit of North Africa’s highest peak Mount Toubkal (4167m). Alongside Toubkal, KE have added the incredible summits of Ouanoukrim (4089m), Adrar n Derm (4001m) and Bouiguinoussem (4025m) for the ultimate Moroccan 4000m high. Home of Berber villages nestled between picturesque valleys, this adventure holiday is also a wonderful cultural journey through breath-taking landscapes and over high passes. From the charming valley of Zat Valley, we make our way towards the foothills of Toubkal on footpaths hidden in dramatic gorges. Our first 4000m peak is Adrar n Dern, a remote mountain which rewards us with incredible views of our next High Atlas giants, Ouanoukrim and Toubkal. After standing on the top of Morocco’s two highest mountains we finish our trekking adventure on the top of our final 4000m peak - Bouiguinoussem. The holiday ends in the bustling city of Marrakech which provides the perfect contrast to the solitude of Morocco’s High Atlas. This holiday opens your eyes to a wilder side of the High Atlas Mountains and includes time to explore Marrakech as a grand finale.

A GENUINE SMALL GROUP EXPERIENCE - THE SECRET OF OUR SUCCESS

We are proud to say this holiday in Morocco is limited to a maximum group size of 12, ensuring you enjoy a genuine small group adventure. We've been taking people trekking and walking for over thirty years so we know the ingredients of a good guide and a successful group holiday. Toubkal and these 4000m peaks are neither particularly high nor technically demanding, but the experience and knowledge of our Moroccan leaders, teamed with a smaller group size, can make a big difference on summit days and during this trek

This trekking holiday covers a variety of terrain from well-established trails between valleys and villages to zig-zag trails on scree for the ascents of the peaks and whilst trekking up passes. Daily walking distances are not particular long but the trek does involve a fair amount of ascent and descent. Typically you’ll be walking for approximately 6 hours each day with the occasional longer day. During the summer months, the High Atlas does experience strong sun which can have an effect on the daily trekking pace. The highest altitude for sleeping on this holiday is only a little over 3000 metres, however trekking above 3,000 metres will provide a challenge, and therefore you need to ensure you are prepared for the trek. You should be comfortable with walking for up 6 or 7 hours each day, and for several days continuously. To reach the summit of Ouanoukrim requires some straightforward scrambling, however the optional ascents of the four peaks presents no technical difficulty and should be within the capabilities of fit and active walkers.

Why KE?

Kathryn described her 4000m Peak Moroccan experience as life changing. Why not stand on the summit of Toubkal alongside another three jaw-dropping High Atlas giants on this classic KE journey. Experience wonderfully wild landscapes as you trek off the beaten track to Ouanoukrim, Adrar n Derm and Bouiguinoussem. This fantastic trek ensures you're well acclimatised before conquering the highest peak.
