We start very early for our Toubkal ascent (4am), walking over rocky paths as there is less vegetation at this altitude. There are long sections of scree, where the climb becomes challenging due to the loose rock.

Once we pass the 4000m point, we can appreciate the magnificent panoramic views across the tranquil valleys and lower summits of the High Atlas Range.

The achievement of standing on the summit is unforgettable and the views from the summit are simply magnificent.

To the north we can see the fertile plains of Marrakech, and to the south, the wild rugged landscape of the pre-Sahara. All around us are the many jagged peaks of the High Atlas stretching into the distance.

We descend to the refuge for lunch, then continue our descent to Arroumd where we meet our driver to transfer us back to Marrakech
