Mount toubkal trek 4 days 3 nights: This 4 day trek starts in the green valley of Ouirgane and takes in the peaks of the surrounding High Atlas mountains as you trek up to the high passes before reaching the summit trail for Mount Toubkal. It is challenging in parts and also helps you acclimatize before the last push for the highest North African Peak at 4167 meters; that’s 13,671 in feet.
