Discover Toubkal & Lake Ifni Trek – The Wild Heart of the Atlas

Led by certified mountain guides, this traverse offers a raw immersion in the wilderness of the High Atlas — far from villages and crowds, surrounded by dramatic ridges and vast skies.
Join fellow adventurers on this very challenging journey through the timeless High Atlas – where every step uncovers Berber heritage and breathtaking vistas. Limited to 6 guests for an intimate experience.
