Discover High Atlas Three Peaks

Toubkal, Timzguida and Ras bring three major High Atlas summits together above the valleys south of Marrakech. Toubkal is North Africa’s highest mountain. Timzguida and Ras are the two neighbouring high points of Ouanoukrim, giving the journey a clear geographic focus within the same mountain area rather than a series of long transfers across Morocco.

The High Atlas setting is central to the experience: villages and cultivated valley ground give way to a much barer high mountain landscape. Imlil is a familiar gateway to this part of the range, but the summits themselves call for time and appropriate mountain planning. Enquire about combining the three with a visit to Marrakech or a longer stay in the Atlas. The season and your group’s experience will help shape the final expedition.

  2. Timzguida — Ouanoukrim

    Timzguida is the higher of Ouanoukrim’s two principal summits. It stands south of the neighbouring Ras summit.

  3. Ras Ouanoukrim

    Ras is the northern summit of the Ouanoukrim pair. It shares the same High Atlas mountain setting as Timzguida and nearby Toubkal.
