When to climb?
All year around

Please remember that the mountains are in full winter condition from December to May inclusive so you will need ice axe and crampons (we can supply). Outside of those dates you will find glorious but rough high altitude non-technical trekking.

Toubkal – 4,167m / 13,671 ft

Toubkal is located 63km south of of Marrakech in the Toubkal National Park. At 4,167 metres (13,671 ft), it is the highest peak in the Atlas Mountains and in North Africa. The ascent during the summer (from May) is non-technical yet moderately difficult. Sturdy boots and windproof clothing are required, and trekking poles are helpful on the scree. The ascent during in the winter and spring (February / March) is more difficult. Crampons are necessary to ascend through the snow and ice.

Mulhacen – 3,478.6 m / 11,413 ft

Mulhacén in the Sierra Nevada range is the highest mountain in continental Spain. It is named after Abu l-Hasan Ali (Muley Hacén in Spanish), the penultimate Muslim King of Granada in the 15th century who, according to legend, was buried on the summit. The south and west ridges are gentle. The shorter, steeper north east ridge is more technical. The north face of the mountain is much steeper and offers several routes with climbing on snow and ice in the winter.

Options exist for you to extend your stay either in Morocco’s Sahara Desert, on its Atlantic Coast and/or in its Imperial Cities, or in Spain’s Sierra Nevada near Granada.
