 The rugged Atlas Mountains, situated close to Marrakech, run east to west for some 1900 kilometres, reaching a spectacular 4165m at the summit of Jebel Toubkal. Few roads venture across the massive Atlas barrier, which falls away abruptly beyond the mountains to the Sahara desert. Tiny villages dot the high mountain valleys or cling precariously to the rocky flanks, inhabited by the hardy and hospitable Berber people.
Hiking from Aremd, we first acclimatise with a series of short exploratory treks. We overnight in Berber village houses, gites or mountain huts, and occasionally sleep out under the stars. The average altitude of the trek is 2500m reaching a maximum of 4165m (13,667ft) with a successful ascent to the summit of Mt. Toubkal, North Africa's highest point. This is a non-technical but fairly strenuous ascent, involving some scrambling over steep slopes.
Biohazards encountered include scorpions and snakes. Also gorse bushes and spinny alysum plants are included in this category as one of our group found that these do not provide a soft landing when you slip!
