Mount
Toubkal 4167m is the highest peak in North Africa, and
is snowy climb in the winter months, where you get the
opportunity to ascend using crampons and an ice axe
for security. No previous winter experience is required,
as all skills are taught on the trek. The itinerary
has been designed for keen walkers, as the ascent is
non-technical, but involves some easy scrambling and
snow slopes. As
with all our climbing trips, we focus on skills training
and acclimatisation, so before you ascend Toubkal, you
normally summit Ouanoukrim 4089m
