Book confidently, knowing that if your trip is cancelled, you’ll be offered a full refund.
You will be picked up at 8pm from Marrakech Airport, and then driven to the mountain village of Imlil. Here you can enjoy your welcome dinner, and take in the panoramic views of the High Atlas mountains.
All food, accommodation and transfers are included on this trip.
In the morning you’ll give your main bag to the muleteers, and then hike for 3 hours to the tiny settlement of Sidi Chamharouch. Here your cooks will serve up lunch, and you can also get fresh orange juice from one of the local stools. Afterwards you continue for another 3 hours to Toubkal base camp, where you’ll stay for the night.
You start very early at around 5am, you will have breakfast. After this, we begin the hike with a slow and steady pace upwards.
After 2-3 hours you’ll aim to reach the summit of Mt Toubkal (4,167m) at sunrise! From here you can look down from the snowy summit, to the green Anti-Atlas mountains, and then finally the vast Sahara desert! After taking some time to enjoy the views, we’ll then head downhill for 6 hours to Imlil.
After breakfast, you will be taken back to Marrakech airport for 10am (in time for flights after 12.30pm). You can also be dropped to Marrakech city instead, if you want to stay on for a few days.

Fantastic trip! Well organised, fantastic staff all from the hotel the refuge and the mountain guides. The ascent is hard though 😉

An incredible experience! The guides accommodation, food and organisation were all 1st class. We all felt looked after and safe by Omar and the team so that we could focus on the trek and taking in the surroundings. Extremely well organised and the best trip I've had. We will most certainly return to the Atlas and book other adventure with Skyhook. Absolutely brilliant!!

Brilliant! The guides, accommodation & food are perfect for this hike & make the tough climb much more enjoyable. It was good fun hiking with a group of like minded people & I will definitely be recommending Skyhook to my friends.

Amazing! Just as advertised. Omar and Abdul were great guides and supported our group so we all made it to the summit. Highly recommend!

My wife and I recently travelled to Morocco with Skyhook to climb Toubkal. We were slightly nervous as neither of us had climbed to that height, so weren’t sure how the altitude would effect us. There was no need to worry because our guide, Lahcen, was awesome! He took us up the mountain at such a good pace, stopping for breaks and ensuring we reached the summit with no problems. Our stay at the refuge, prior to the climb was also made comfortable by our great cook Mohammed who fed us so well. It’s a worthwhile challenge supported by a great team all round. Definitely worth doing a bit of training prior to the challenge (which we did) so that you can fully enjoy the experience. We would thoroughly recommend this trip with Skyhook. Mark & Abigail (UK)

Fantastic experience. Everything went very smoothly. Guides were fantastic, especially Omar and Yousef. The food was great and the riads adequate. Thanks to all involved.

Where to begin! We booked our trip in December 2018 and it was cancelled and re booked 4 times due to the pandemic. The team at skyhook couldn’t have handled the situation any better than they did and allowed us to transfer our deposits and bookings on to future dates. Throughout the process Damien and Allan’s communication was second to none, they couldn’t be more helpful and responded to all my emails straight away. This was the first time I have used a company for a trip like this and I can honestly say I will never use any other company now other than Skyhook as I was that impressed. We will be using them for Kilimanjaro and Everest Base Camp in the future. As for the trip it’s self, everything went 100% according to plan and the company/staff they use (Atlas Vertical) in Morocco we’re just as professional, kind and helpful. We felt completely safe throughout and was welcomed with open arms. For anyone considering to book this trip and who is a little unsure, rest assured you are in great hands both in the UK with skyhook and in Morocco with Atlas Vertical. One thing that is worth knowing, don’t underestimate the Altitude. A lot of people found the final summit day taxing on their body’s due to the altitude and sheer distance you cover on the day. You do follow an acclimatisation plan but some admitted at the end they would have benefited from another day as you get up and down quite quick so make sure you attend in your best physical condition. Thank you Skyhook for an unforgettable experience and outstanding service. I can’t wait to travel with you again in the near future Best Regards Richard

Overall it was an amazing adventure, we really enjoyed it - although was far harder than we anticipated. I thought the guides were amazing and ensured we had a really memorable experience, the accommodation at Imlil was good, at the refuge it was 'an experience' and not sure any of us got any rest before the summit climb. few things to feedback from us, although the kit list etc on the skyhook website covered most things, there was a lack of pre event comms which was disappointing, one key thing that was not discussed at all was around altitude sickness, 2 of our group didn't summit due to this and we all felt the effects, there should have been more awareness of things to look out for and what can be done to limit / prevent it. Secondly, the only slight criticism of our hosts was a lack of kit check before the climb, one of the team went up without gloves and had the weather turned this could have had serious implications due to the extreme temperatures. Overall, it was such an amazing experience, i would certainly recommend it for others.

It was a great experience. With a lot of thanks to my fellow groupmembers and to Omar and his excellent team. My legs still hurt, but it slowly gets better.

Hiking Toubkal was an amazing experience! It was great having Youssef and Abdul as our guides, they were both supportive and funny. Both the hospitality and accommodation were excellent. They always made sure I had vegetarian meals available. It was a pleasure to hike in such beautiful scenery, and the summit was breathtaking. I highly recommend it.

The hardest but best thing I’ve done in my life! thank you so much to Youssef and Abdul for getting us up and back, to the porters that work so hard and the cooks for keeping us fuelled for this gruelling adventure.

Brilliant experience, run by great hosts at the accommodation. The porters were extremely helpful and full of enthusiasm. The 2 guides made the trip a wonderful experience, they were friendly, enthusiastic, full of encouragement but must of all we felt safe in their hands. Thanks Skyhook and Atlas Vertical.

Enjoyed a great few days with Abdel and the team, trekking to the top of Toubkal. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide. The hospitality they delivered was first class. The food was delicious, super authentic and healthy. Transport to and from the mountains included. The Riad was excellent. A really high standard with Mohammed the host/chef The mountain refugee was described as basic but this far exceeded our expectations. In comparison with trekking in other parts of the developing world the accomodation was a high standard. A large heated room for eating in and thick blankets provided free of charge for additional warmth. Probably won’t sleep much with the altitude but you’ll be comfortable. Mules and porters were provided for transport of large bags and the food. The greatest part of the trip is kind and humorous Berber people. Everyone we met was friendly and welcoming.

Amazing from start to finish. I would highly recommend Skyhook to all my friends. Toubkal was an incredible trail. The guide Ahmed was super friendly and knowledgeable. The food was really good, the accommodation was very good too, all at an affordable price. I can’t wait to book again with Skyhook. I would do this hike again 👏

I loved it. Everything from the beginnings at Imlil, to the trek back to Imlil was done in a way to make everybody feel very comfortable. Our trip started with the stay at the Riad in Imlil where Hussein briefed us on what to expect during the hike, and even provided us equipment we didnt have for the hike. Our guide Abdul was very helpful and took care of us from the beginning to the end of the two days hike, making sure we were very well looked after. The stay at the refuge was quite comfortable, basic but cannot expect more. Good fun the night we stayed at the refuge. The summit hike was challenging, but again ABdul our guide was very helpful, especially as I struggled with a headache and nausea on the way back. Would recommend this trip to friends interested in mountaineering, and maybe I go back again for more.

This was indeed an epic trip. From the time I landed in Marrakesh till I left, everything was meticulously organised by Atlas Vertical Travel. The owner Hussain is not only a man from the ground who has many experience and expertise under his belt, but also will make you feel special when you spend a night at his guest house in Imlil. The hike to Mount Toubkal was fantastic even though get ready for some serious walk and lots of hard work (especially for us since it was in end March, we had walked on plenty of snow even before reaching the refuse). But expert guide made it all look easy with encouragement and walking with your pace. The experience of summiting the Mount Toubkal was epic. I will surely come back for a summer hike.

The trip was great! The climb itself in winter conditions is quite difficult, however I've had the support of a great guide, Mohamed, who helped me summit safely and made the whole experience very pleasant!

What an amazing experience!!! I was slightly sceptical of going to Morocco - thinking of safety. I experienced the complete opposite! Starting with the effective communication with Hussein (sorry if I will spell the names wrong), who was our contact there via Skyhook. He has the skills of being the host you could wish for and always going above and beyond to make your sure you are well looked after. I cannot thank him enough for his kindness! During our trip we had two cooks, Mohammed and Abdul. Our taste buds were taken to another level with the Moroccan dishes we've been served. Our guides Mohammed and Ibrahim are so experienced! It was so lovely listening to them on the hike, finding out about their culture. The looked after us and they set up a pace that was suitable for all those in the group, more so they made sure we have all the equipment needed for safety. Due to the bad weather conditions, I only managed to hike up to about 3800 m and again, the guides looked after us coming down in poor visibility and high winds. Everyone turned back that day, so there were more people around. I was amazed of the remarkable teamwork they showed us, we were all been looking out for each other. There've been no rules set up, it has been a natural caring skill they revealed. During this trip I learned the pure kindness of Berber people, I made new friends and I store unforgettable memories. I cannot wait to revisit! Thank you all for looking after us the way you did! P.S. I would highly recommend to visit Marrakech using a guide called Hussein, he's knowledge of history is incredible. To get in contact with him you can ask Hussein your contact via Skyhook, or I am happy to give information.

WOW…. I would give 6 stars if I could. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am Just back from Mt Toubkal and what a fantastic trip. I traveled with a group of friends, 11 of us in total and we all had a brilliant time. The accommodation was great. The food was freshly made for us every time, it was very tasty and plenty of it. On day 1 was around 12.6km. On day 2 we were up and gone by 4am and its 5k to the top, tough going with altitude and the steep ascent and It’s a long day going all the way back to Imlil. Was it worth it ? Yes. When you get to the top, you will know what I mean A massive thanks to our guides Hussein and Omar who were amazing, making sure we all got to the summit and also the porters, cooks and hosts were all brilliant 👍🏻. I have nothing negative to say about the trip. I would highly recommend Hussein and Omar to guide you. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The hike to climb Mt Toubkal was amazing. Houssain is a first class Guide. Houssain and his team did a great job of making every member of the group feel relaxed and at home in the beautiful Atlas mountains. The accommodation and food was excellent and the scenery spectacular! I would give this trip a ten out of ten. I would highly recommend it to anyone considering doing it. I'm so glad I did it. I had the most amazing positive experience. Thank you to all the team.
