Background

• The ‘lost world’ of the Tichka plateau
• A less busy approach to Toubkal
• UK leader

A two-part trek that takes you first though delightful western section of the Atlas mountains, a seldom visited area where you will ascend from the lush ‘gardens’ of the valleys up through one of the few niches in the mighty cliffs that encircle the ‘lost world’ of the Tichka Plateau, firmly ringed with crests, walls and ridges. Here the spring irrigated pastures are grazed by the Berber shepherds in the summer months, but will be buried under snow in the winter. We exit from the plateau following the N’FisRiver through tranquil oak and juniper forests to lower and warmer altitudes.

A short vehicle transfer along theTizi n Test road takes us to the Berber village of Wirgane and a night in a hotel, before setting off on the second part of this trip. We will be making our way towards Toubkal via ‘the back door’, following the Azzaden valley up to the delightful, quiet old Lepiney refuge nestled below the vertical south face of Tazarhart Mountain. Our approach to Toubkal gives us face on views of North Africa’s highest mountain and the route we take up the following day. After summiting Toubkal it is happily downhill for a final night in the High AtlasMountains, and then back to Marrakech the following day.

Why not extend your stay with extra time in Marrakech in a Riad or a hotel, or take trip to the coast at Essaouira.
