Description

Join #TeamDEBRA in 2026 for Toubkal Winter Trek.

Summit Jebel Toubkal, Morocco’s highest mountain. The snow-capped peaks of Morocco’s Atlas Mountains provide a striking background to the ascent of Mt Toubkal, North Africa’s tallest peak. On clear wintry days the views extend across the Atlas range and over towards to the Sahara Desert.

Each day, between four- and eight-hours trekking will take you across the peaks and through remote Berber villages. If needed, you’ll be trained to use ice-picks and crampons for this challenging trek.

The challenge ends with celebrations in the beautiful city of Marrakech.

Challenge Overview

  • Unforgettable mountain scenery and spectacular views
  • Tackle daunting peaks dotted with Berber villages
