Mount Toubkal, known locally as Jebel Toubkal, lies at the heart of
a network of trails winding through lush valleys and high-altitude
mountain scenery. The region is inhabited by Berber communities
that remain relatively untouched by progress.

a mountain pass standing some

this pass, a ridge rises up to form a
shoulder, which leads to the summit.
Meanwhile, to the south, the moun-
tainside falls away sharply, giving
way to a small lake called Lac d’Ifni.
U
nlike much of the High
Atlas, which is primarily
composed of sedimen-
tary rock, the Toubkal
massif is a vast expanse of volcan-
ic rock that has been shaped by
the elements over the course of
centuries to form alpine crests in-
tersected by deep, narrow valleys.
Located within Toubkal National
Park approximately 60 kilometres
south of Marrakesh in southwest
Morocco, Mount Toubkal has been
enticing Europeans for centuries,
with the first known European ad-
ventures to scale it being Huberg
Dolbeau, Vincent Berger and the
Marquis de Segonzac in 1923.
