Recommended by William Mackesy

This journey passes through picturesque walnut groves, barley fields, juniper forests and traditional flat roofed Berber villages, while also summiting Jebl Toubkal, the highest peak in Northern Africa and trekking the scree and arch of mountainous terrain surrounding it in the High Atlas Mountains.

The nine or ten day walk starts and finishes at Imlil, a farming, riverside town, then climbs through valleys dotted with the Berber’s summer villages, and crosses 10,000 metre mountain passes to one of the High Atlas’s few lakes, Ifni Lake, then the final push up to Jebl Toubkal’s summit.

In winter the mountain peaks and passes are covered in snow but during summer the bare rock-strewn slopes can be quite slippery. Several companies offer a guide or porter service.
