Description

Are you in the mood for an unforgettable climbing trip? Then join me on this great one to the top of Mt Toubkal, the highest mountain in North Africa!

We will spend 4 days inside this unique mountain range, enjoying the incredible views it offers to winter sports fans.

Winter is the best time to climb Mt Toubkal. The experience of standing in the snow at an extremely high altitude is the first amazing memory you’ll take with you. Moreover, from that same spot you will even get to see the vast Sahara Desert.

The trip lasts 4 days since you will need some time to get used to winter conditions. I will of course provide the necessary training to use crampons and ice axe.

Whether you have little rock climbing experience or are well acquainted with this sport, you’ll enjoy this expedition! It is perfectly suitable for first time winter mountaineering.

You just need to be in optimal physical condition to be able to walk in the mountains for four days. The good thing about winter ascents is that the snow helps to cover the tricky parts of the tracks.

If you are still unsure about your ability to take this trip, I offer an extra training day. During this coaching day, you will practice and apply your climbing skills so as to reach the Mt Toubkal summit successfully.

So, don’t think twice and come with me on this spectacular 4-day climbing trip to Mt Toubkal. You will have the chance to witness the magnificence of the Atlas Mountains, one of the world’s most fascinating mountain ranges. It will be a great pleasure to guide you on this unique rock climbing trip to North Africa. Contact me now!

Mountain Leader

I am a certified International Mountain Leader and a Summer Mountain Leader (UK). In addition, I hold a Diploma in Conservation and Wildlife Management.
Originally from Great Britain, I am now based near Marrakech, in Morocco. Actually, in a Berber town at the foot of the Berber Mountains.
The love for travel runs in my veins. In the Sahara I lived with nomads. In Siberia I met reindeer herders. In Mongolia I traveled with yurt-dwellers.
The stunning landscapes and nice people of Morocco have enchanted me, which is why I now live here. My goal is sharing with my clients the exotic beauty that I've discovered here.
The environment is of extreme importance to me. In particular, I'm interested in geology and birds of prey.
Besides speaking English and French, I can get by in Berber.
My work is not limited to this area: I also do the Tour du Mont Blanc trek in the Alps.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Cami

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
