Five days. The highest peak in North Africa. Ancient Berber villages, alpine refuges, and a sunrise from 4,167 metres that you will never forget. Led by Alfie and Serena.
This five-day adventure begins in Marrakech before heading south into the High Atlas — one of the most dramatic mountain landscapes on the continent. From the valley village of Imlil, you'll hike up to the Tizi Mzik Pass at 2,489m on an acclimatisation day that prepares your body and your mind for what lies ahead.
Day three is the centrepiece: an ascent of Jebel Toubkal itself, summit of North Africa at 4,167 metres. An early start, a steady climb through the still mountain air, and then — at the top — a panoramic sunrise that stretches across the Atlas and beyond. It's the kind of moment that puts everything into perspective.
Throughout, you'll be accompanied by Alfie and Serena alongside expert local guides, a cook, and a muleteer from Toubkal Trekking — a team that knows these mountains intimately and brings a warmth and knowledge that makes the trek as enriching as it is physical.
Accommodation is carefully chosen and characterful: Riad Solange in Marrakech, Riad Atlas Four Seasons in Imlil, the Les Mouflons Refuge at 3,207m for summit eve, and Chambre D'Amis back in Marrakech for the final night. Maximum eight guests. Minimum fuss.
North Africa's highest point. An early alpine start, headtorches cutting through the dark, and the reward of watching the continent wake up beneath you.
Your first day in the mountains: a four-hour trail hike to 2,489m through open Atlas landscape, with a picnic lunch and your first proper taste of altitude.
Trek through the Mizane Valley past Aremd village and the Sidi Chamarouch shrine — a route through the timeless rhythms of Berber mountain life.
Overnight at Les Mouflons at 3,207m — a shared refuge experience, hot food, mountain air, and the particular camaraderie of a group about to summit together.
Begin and end in one of the most captivating cities on earth. Riad Solange provides a beautiful, calm base from which the whole adventure unfolds.
You've earned it. The final morning is yours — a recovery massage included, then a private transfer to the airport when you're ready.
Mountain air, ancient villages, shared effort, and a summit that earns its view.
The Atlas has a raw, unforgiving beauty. Trekking days are long and honest — your legs earn every metre. Evenings at the refuge are spent over hot food with the particular warmth that comes from a hard day in the hills with good company.
Day four is the one everyone talks about. The pre-dawn start, the cold, the headtorches, the moment the sky turns pink and you realise you're standing on the highest point in North Africa. It's a feeling that stays with you.
Led by Alfie and Serena, with expert local guides from Toubkal Trekking who know these mountains intimately. The combination of personal development, logistical care, and genuine local knowledge makes this more than a trek.
Maximum eight guests. A shared challenge like Toubkal creates a particular kind of bond quickly. By the summit, you'll feel like you've known each other for years.
Alfie has stood on the summit of Mount Toubkal himself and knows exactly what it takes to get a group there safely and joyfully. A multilingual tour leader fluent in Spanish, Portuguese, French and English, he brings logistical precision, cultural knowledge and genuine warmth to every trip he leads.
Serena joins as personal development facilitator — bringing an additional dimension to the journey that turns a trek into something more reflective and lasting. Together they make an exceptional team in the mountains.
