MOUNT TOUBKAL TREK GRADING – GRADE 4: TOUGHEST

These treks are the toughest treks and an excellent level of fitness needed before you arrive. Sustained trekking carrying day sac plus more for serial seven-hour days at higher altitudes on mixed terrain. No options for rest days. One of our toughest trekking challenges. Definitely not an off-the-couch activity!

The most physically demanding part of the Mount Toubkal trek is the ascent to its 4,167- meter summit. We begin early in the morning and take our time to reach the top at a steady, manageable pace. The effort is well worth it, once at the summit, we’re rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views stretching as far as Marrakesh to the north, Essaouira and the Atlantic coast to the west, and the vast Sahara Desert to the south.

Yes, trekking poles are highly recommended for stability and reducing strain on the knees when descending.

Yes, travel insurance covering trekking activities, medical emergencies, and trip cancellations is required.

Medical

Your own insurance is crucial. If you are on a guided tour, your guide will do their utmost to ensure your safety, but accidents can happen and even trivial accidents can result in a hefty bill of evacuation off the mountain or transport is involved. If you are unsure of your insurance cover, please ask us before the trek, rather than at the time when you may require assistance.

Possessions

Equipment can easily be lost or left behind on a trek and Mont Blanc Treks cannot be held responsible for your private possessions. During transfers, bags are left for collection and again after delivery, in some relatively public places within the hotels we use. Please make sure possessions, bags and equipment are adequately insured and kept safe. Suggestions for trekking insurance companies that have been used by previous clients are:
