Toubkal

My first summit >4k meters. The hike is not tough, maybe bit as from rifugio route is steep. The only issue is temperature as wild wind gusts reduces temperature close to summit to minus 15 or so. So it’s really cold and it’s good to have proper outfit. It was so cold I wanted to get down asap, so not much of enjoying the summit. Still:worth it. We were at the end of November

Great 2-day hike to the summit. We stayed in the Frech refuge (hot showers!) and after a 3am breakfast set off in the dark with head torches. The weather was perfect, clear skies no wind and not too cold at the summit. Amazing views and sunrise. It's a long trek back down to Imlil all on the same day. We arrived at 6pm, after a great lunch at the refuge on the way down.

I am a 50 year old man and went up with my 14 year old daughter, it was our first hike and we had never done anything like it. Our guide was very helpful before and during our trip, at the meeting up point we were met with our guide who sat down with us and explained the hike and answered our questions in a honest and respectful way, he made us open up at bags and told us directly what he thought was unnecessary and not needed, turned out only 2/3 of our three bags were needed. When we started our hike on the first day the guide stayed close to us making sure we didn’t feel ill or unsafe by constantly checking up and making sure that we felt comfortable and that we were fine. When we arrived at the base camp to spend the night we walked in to be greeted by other guides who made sure we were fine and showed us to our room which we shared with 20 odd other people we were allowed to walk around and sit down to talk to other people about what they thought about the walking and how they felt after sitting for just under an hour we had dinner which was a starter, main and dessert. We then went to bed with everyone around the same time to be all woken up at around 2:30 ish AM and started walking at 3/4 AM in the pitch black we were given head torches if we did not have one. Up the mountain was steep and you mostly got stuck behind other groups or all merged together, It was extremely steep and the higher up you climbed the thinner and colder the air became. When we reached the top my daughter became quite ill and emotional we did not stay up there for long because of the freezing temperatures as we descended my daughter started to have a panic attack and felt as if she couldn’t breath the other guides noticed and attempted to try to calm down my daughter and our guide then realised and went down to assist my daughter who was then carried down the mountain by him as he ran down so she could have better oxygen intake he constantly checked that she was okay and if she needed to drink or eat something when we got back down to the base camp we were met with lunch before walking back down the mountain and getting picked up by the taxi who took us back to our hotel. Overall an amazing guide who assisted my daughter and met her needs even tho we were up a mountain. Would 100% do again !!!

Amazing and very easy hike. Some people had altitude sickness though, if you are susceptible, better take more days to acclimatise. Altogether very enjoyable.

We did a 3-peak challenge in the Toubkal region, first climbing Ras and Timesguida. We found this route to be much quieter and, arguably, more challenging than Mount Toubkal itself. The next day, we climbed Mount Toubkal. The route was crowded, especially compared to the other peaks, and involved an early 4am start to catch the sunrise. The ascent is a non-technical trek, but the loose scree and patches of ice made it demanding. The views from the top, however, were spectacular and the sense of achievement from reaching North Africa's highest peak was a definite highlight. Overall, the trek was a very worthwhile and enjoyable experience. While it is physically demanding, it is not overly difficult, and the reward of a great view and a spectacular sunrise makes the hard work worthwhile.

Great experience! Definitely recommend having a guide as they organised this whole experience for us. We slept in a shelter at 3100m and ascended the mountain in the night to arrive at the peak for sunrise.

It wasn’t an easy hike) but we liked it. The views from the top were great

Climbing Toubkal was nothing short of unforgettable. Reaching the highest peak in North Africa felt like standing on top of the world. The trail is challenging but incredibly rewarding, with breathtaking landscapes that change at every turn, rocky paths, high valleys, and panoramic views that make every step worth it. The feeling at the summit is pure magic: crisp air, 360° mountain views, and a sense of accomplishment unlike anything else. Out of all the hikes I’ve done so far, this one is my absolute number one. A must-do for anyone who loves adventure and real mountain experiences. 🏔️
