4 Days Toubkal Mountain Trek
Overview

If you have always been in love with mountains, and want to experience this love on another level, then our 4-day Toubkal Mount winter trek is what you are looking for.

It is something in between, meaning that you should only be reasonably fit and have enough determination to make your hike to the summit possible. However, climbing Toubkal in winter will need special mountaineering tools, such as walking poles, ice axes, and crampons.
Now you can check off “climbing the highest mountain in North Africa” from your bucket list!
