Trekking Mount Toubkal in Summer ☀️

The first quality of summer that makes it different from a winter hike up Mount Toubkal is of course the weather. Summer promises calmer, sunnier climes so you can leave your ice-axe at home. Although the ascent is still challenging, the warmth of the Moroccan sun takes away the added challenge of hiking through snow and ice.

On summer climbs up Mount Toubkal, the daily treks will start early, so you can get the days distance in before the peak heat of the Moroccan sun. This means your afternoons and evenings can be spent enjoying the meals prepared by the tour’s private chef and taking soaking up the breathtaking scenery, including the luscious farmland beneath you and vast stretches of mountains around you. You will also pass stunning waterfalls on your trek which are frozen in winter but come alive in the summer months.

Trekking Mount Toubkal in Winter ❄️

A winter trek through Mount Toubkal is a completely unique experience and there’s no better way to enjoy it than on our Mount Toubkal in Winter holiday. The experience of the climb, first through the quiet foothills of the tranquil valleys then hiking through the crunching snow to Toubkal’s peak, is astonishing. 

Given the added difficulty of trekking through the winter conditions, the trails are populated only by keen winter trekkers meaning that is typically quieter than other seasons, adding to the serenity of the hike. 

Though the farmlands may be blanketed in a layer of crisp snow, Berber Valley’s evergreen Juniper trees intersperse verdant flashes at the foot of the range. Plus, a winter trek means that you’ll encounter uninterrupted views of the Atlas Mountains that are made even more awe-inspiring by the white from the snowfall. 

To see a winter sunset from Toubkal is unbeatable; the effusion of colours across the skyline burns in stark contrast to the icy landscape all around. This white becomes dyed with the sun’s pink and amber rays before an extraordinary night sky is revealed.
