Day 1, Sat 28 Apr 2018

International departure from London

Once you’re all packed, it’s off to the airport to finally meet the Charity Challenge representative and the rest of the team. Touching down in Morocco, we will be met by the buzzing vibrancy of Marrakech. From here, we transfer to the hotel for our first team dinner and a good night’s sleep.

Day 2, Sun 29 Apr 2018

Marrakech to the Atlas Mountains, Neltner Refuge, 3,200m (approximately 5 hours)

After breakfast and a final briefing, we leave the city. The scenery quickly changes as we head into the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains. At 2000m sits the village of Imlil, the challenge starting point. Here we begin trekking! The route follows the river towards Sidi Chamarouch, Lunch will be taken with the Berbers, before heading towards home for the night: the Neltner Refuge at 3,200m.

Day 3, Mon 30 Apr 2018

Neltner Refuge, 3,200m to Mount Toubkal, 4,167m (approximately 4 hours)

We set off early from camp as we head towards our destination, stopping along the way to take in the views. The Toubkal summit is tough, especially across the scree. But with the buoyant team spirit – and several pitstops – we’ll reach the top of North Africa’s highest peak. Taking time to reflect on our achievement, we then descend back to the Neltner Refuge for the night.

Day 4, Tue 01 May 2018

Neltner Refuge to Marrakech (approximately 4 hours)

Limbs may be feeling weary, but it’s an easy descent back down to Sidi Chamarouch (2,310m) where we will stop for some refreshments and a spot of shopping. From here it’s two-hour hike to Aremd, before one last push to Imlil. We bid farwell to our muleteers before heading back to Marrakech, which leaves the rest of the day free to explore this wonderful city.

Day 5, Wed 02 May 2018

Arrive Home

Today is bitter sweet as we wave goodbye to Marrakech and head home to the UK. Saying goodbye to new-found friends and trekking partners will be hard, so be sure to exchange details on the flight home.

Important information

The itinerary is there as a guide and may change due to unusual weather patterns, wildlife movements, the strength of the group, and other unpredictable factors. We will do our very best to keep to the set itinerary; however we cannot be held responsible for any last minute changes that may occur. In all such circumstances, your expedition leader will have the final say.

Should you suffer from vertigo, it is worth considering that on most mountain treks there will be occasional exposure to sheer drops. You should, therefore, discuss the particular itinerary of your choice with a member of our team.
