This challenge will take you into the High Atlas Mountains, and gives you the chance to explore rocky gorges and high altitude settlements that have populated the area for centuries.
It will see you summit Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in Northern Africa at 4,167m above sea level. It’s the ultimate long weekend challenge!
You'll start your adventure in Marrakech, and start your three day trek the following day. Your ultimate goal is to climb Jebel Toubkal.
From there, you'll have unrestricted views in every direction, from the Marrakesh Plain to the High Atlas in the north, and as far south as the Anti-Atlas and the Sahara.
When you sign up, you'll be given the option to include flights in your fundraising target or to arrange your own travel if you'd prefer more flexibility. If you do arrange your own travel, your fundraising target drops to £910.
All entry options cover accommodation and meals as specified, support from English-speaking professional guides, pre-departure support and advice, and much more.
Want to extend your adventure and join the epic Edge of the Sahara trip? You'll experience the wonder of sleeping under the stars in the Sahara Desert, head through the dunes on camel-back, dine on traditional Moroccan tagine and experience a traditional Berber camp.
