Climb Mount Toubkal (4167m): The Winter Edition

A lifetime experience, was hard , but take your time and you will make it.

This is the first time booking with much better adventures and probably won’t be the last. From booking the trip through to collection and then drop off at the airport everything was taken care of. The trip was well planned out and everything taken care of. The food was good, the guides were excellent and couldn’t do enough to make the trek as memorable as possible. The trek was tough, and given the effects of the altitude it is not one to be taken lightly so I would advise so walking prior to undertaking this adventure.

We had a great time with Much Better Adventures climbing Mount Toubkal. They handled everything for us - picking us up from the airport, making sure we had the right kit and recommending places to go in Marrakech. The Riad was amazing with great rooms and a brilliant sun roof. The guides were great and we always felt safe up on the mountain.

I would definitely use Much Better Adventures for a hike again.

Had an absolute blast! Got the winter experience with a snow storm while trekking up to the refuge, perfect weather for the summit hike and the best sunrise on our hike the day after the summit. Couldnt scripted it better myself. Food is exceptional (and a lot). The guides. . . 10 out of 10. Professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend it.

​Up we went on icy trails Passing mules along the vales Hot in sun, cold when shaded In our quest to be upgraded

Crystal views of proper mountains Scalding tea rained down in fountains Filled our hearts with simple joy Cleared our minds of office ploy

Friendships blossomed lightning quick We kept a piece, we made a click When airports turned us back around We smiled inside, knew what we'd found

And one thing we'll forever remember Telling tales 'round burning ember Among the many joys and woes: Smallish boots killed Josh's toes

This trip was fantastic! The guides were great, we felt completely safe and well looked after at all times. They went out of their way to make sure the whole group had a great time and made it to the top. The food was great and the scenery was amazing. I’d definitely recommend this trip!

Could not thank all the guides and everyone else involved, from landing to taking off we was very well looked after and every thing went to plan with an incredible group of people.

Would definitely recommend and use these again for my next trip!

The Toubkal winter edition trip with much better adventures was incredible! Every step was taken care of by the team, from airport pickup to summiting Toubkal. The guides were amazing, so friendly and accommodating – I honestly wouldn't have reached the top without them! This is by far the best trip I've been on, and I'm already looking at the next one. Big shout-out to Aztat Treks – amazing! 🤩

A brilliant trip, well organised and well fed. Met lots of new people,all friendly and encouraging each other to summit. Winter conditions added extra fun, with crampons and ice axes being used from the refuge up. A great sense of achievement when I reached the summit.

I would like to say, Thank you, for this adventure! Thanks a lot of Mustafa and Mohamed, our guides to Toubkal for this journey! Highly recommend- Much Better Adventures!!!

An amazing few days trekking in the Atlas Mountains and reaching Morocco's highest peak.

The trip was well organised and communication was excellent throughout.

Our guides, Abdul and Saed, were excellent from start too finish.

The amount of food prepared for us was incredible and delicious every meal.

Thank you MBA, Abdul & Saed

Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish.

The whole trip was organised perfectly, from the meeting at the airport, drop off to the accommodation, Assia's introduction to the area and map, the breakfast and transfer to Imlil, the start point of the trek where we met our guides Mohammed and Mustafa who could not have been more attentive to the groups needs and made sure everyone was well looked after.

If you're looking at this trip and unsure whether to book, as I was, I can assure you there will be no regrets.

The food was fresh, the guides where very knowledgeable and the views where breathtaking.

My first trip with MBA and it will definitely not be my last.

Thank you to everyone involved.

Overall very well organized trip. Super great guides and a lovely group!

A group of three of us went to climb Toubkal in the Winter. Our guides Mohammed and Mustafa were fantastic; they were knowledgeable, kind and approachable and catered to the mix of experience within our group. I couldn't thank them enough for the experience.

The airport transfers, food and nights in a Riad organised by MBA ran smoothly and I couldn't fault their organisation.

I would highly recommend.

Really enjoyed our trip to Morocco. Mount Toubkal was amazing- we were very lucky to have perfect weather. The sunrise hike the following morning was also rather wonderful. The only flaw was the condition of the dormitory- water dripping from the ceiling onto anyone unfortunate enough to have an upper bunk, and walls and floors also dripping wet. Pillows and bedding got wet as a result. We have slept in mountain hut dormitories many times but never encountered such conditions.

My first adventure abroad on my own, from the moment I landed to boarding my plane to home I felt like I was in great hands, accommodation fantastic, food amazing and plenty of it. The actual trip was amazing something I shall never forget and I’m definitely booking another adventure. Brilliant Amazing Awesome.

Everything about the trip was perfect and the correspondence from the team at both ends (uk& Morocco) was great. All you had to do really was turn up with your kit for the trek. The accommodation both in Marakesh and on the trek was fine all transport was set up to and from the airport and out to the Atlas mountains. Aztat treks and the team of guides were brilliant and couldn't of asked for more. . . . they made the trek very enjoyable and looked after everyone individually and made sure you all had everything you needed to make the trek a success. Top marks !!

As soon as I saw the opportunity to climb Toubkal in winter I knew I was in. Much Better Adventures were not responsible for delivering the perfect conditions of recent snow and cold clear days but they did do an excellent job of everything else. Communication was clear/timely and they have found excellent options in country for accommodation and guiding. The Toubkal trek is tough but eminently doable for most fit people with a sense of adventure. 5 days felt like 2 weeks so I'd say it was a fun, worthwhile and very satisfying adventure to start the year. Would I travel with them again - 100%

Absolutely amazingly organised from start to finish. The guides are really friendly and experienced, they helped every person get to the summit and were very accommodating to everyone’s needs. They arranged the best time to summit for the best views and so everyone had a fair chance of getting to the top without feeling pressured for time. Please bear in mind that this is a very tough trek, the altitude affected many in the group and it is very steep from start all the way to the summit with no flat ground. Our flight to England was cancelled in the snow chaos and Aztec adventures managed to contact the hotel we’d stayed in the following night and get us booked in for another two nights at a really good price, all done very late at night and last minute, they were brilliant at sorting us out as many people were stuck at the airport. Mohammed and Moustaffa were just great, and we can’t thank the Riad View Point enough for their kindness in putting us up

Really well organised trip. Good quality Riad in Marrakech. Top guides in the mountains. Exceptional food cooked by the team.

The only recommendation away from what is offered would be - take your own sleeping bag (3 season minimum) instead of using the ones provided for the refuge; they were insufficient for the temperatures.

Would definitely use Much Better Adventures again!

Just come back from the most incredible experience , from the start well organised my second adventure with MBA , can not fault them for a second . The first part of the hike to the refuge took about 5hrs good pace great guides great lunch , second day we summited (approx 5hrs )due to potential bad weather on the third day . This was my first ever high mountain its hard of course endurance and mentaly challenging, but at all times i felt in good hand with our guides! My only coment would be the sleeping bag was not a warm one and we had to ask for blankets , the refuge of course is freezing in the sleeping areas so if you can bring a realy warm liner or your own winter sleeping bag i would . . other than that brilliant trip !!

An outstanding trip , we was looked after from landing to taking off home. The riad in marrakesh was lovely with staff who couldnt have been nicer and the guides and porters were excellent. They looked after us to a degree i really wasn't expecting . A couple in our struggled on summit day and they couldnt have been better and got them to the top. The food was amazing and plentiful too. These guys work really hard and are wonderful people they made my trip a life long memory, thankyou boohoo and your team

I had a wonderful time with MBA, again. Great and clear communication from the start (MBA and guides), the guides were absolutely wonderful, great group of people, and the logistics well-thought out and planned. Highly recommended

First thing to mention is that much better adventures communication was excellent and for my first solo trip, everything went smooth and I had a fantastic time.

Morocco was also amazing, great food in marrakech, at the riad and decent food at the mountain refuge.

My trip had brilliant weather, clear skies, sun yet still plenty of snow.

I had a brilliant time with MBA. The organisation was good and the guides were outstanding.

I'd definitely recommend this to those who are looking to climb as a group.

Such an amazing experience. My first time travelling solo and I couldn't of asked for a better group of people. The guides where great and the whole trip ran smoothly from start to finish. The sunrise views from the summit will take some beating!

Great guides, cooks and staff, great food.

What an amazing experience and trip this was! Hassle free booking from the start, very well organised down to your final lift back to the airport. Useful information supplied to you a week to go once the group chat is made.

Our 2 local guides Ibrahim and Jawad were outstanding for the whole 3 days. We could not have asked for better guides. The whole group had very high praises for them both.

The food was much better than what I thought it was going to be. Honestly you will never go hungry for the 3 days as they feed you well.

We were lucky enough to get the true winter edition with the snowy mountains. Our group summited on the second day of the hike. This was due to the weather changing the next day.

I would definitely recommend this trip and I will be using Much better adventures again!.

An incredibly well-organised trip with two fantastic local guides who accommodated the needs and abilities of the whole group.

The mixture of seeing Marrakesh and then the snow-covered mountains was incredible.

With the freshly cooked food, transport and equipment all organised by the guides with local knowledge, trying to organise a trip like this without the local partner agency would be almost impossible. I highly recommend booking Toubkal through much better adventures

What a fantastic trip! It was smoothly organised with plenty of communication beforehand. The local guides and organisations were experts and made sensible decisions in light of the weather and capabilities of everyone in the group - for example our group summited a day early due to weather warnings and the next day, nobody managed to get up there. The food was also amazing!

A big thank you to Ibrahim and Jawad, our guides. They were so friendly and happy to answer all of our questions on any topic from the atlas mountain range, to the culture of the berber people, to mountaineering. I learned so much! They kept a pace that suited everyone and in some cases split the group in two so some people could take a more sedate route and others could go for a bit more of a scramble. I was a bit poorly during the trip but I felt safe and looked after as they kept checking on me, and never left me at the back of the pack. Thank you!
