3 Days Azzaden Valley & Toubkal Climb
Tour Details
A 3 days unique trek in the High Atlas Mountains. North Africa’s highest mountain is the centerpiece of that incomparable view southwards from Marrakech, often shocking with its unexpected silvering of snow, but it also holds out an easier summer ascent.
This itinerary takes a scenic route via the stunning Azzadene Valley before crossing the Aguelzim pass to join the standard route for the summit. It offers better acclimatization, varied landscapes (waterfalls, juniper forests), and a quieter experience compared to the direct route.
