Toubkal National Park (Parc National de Toubkal) protects the highest peaks of the High Atlas including Jbel Toubkal at 4,167 m. Established to conserve alpine ecosystems and support sustainable tourism, the park covers Berber communities, refuges and a network of trekking paths.
Conservation and responsible trekking
Pack out all rubbish, respect village customs, stick to marked paths and hire local guides — your fees support mountain communities and park maintenance.
Wildlife and landscape
Look for Barbary sheep, eagles and alpine flora in spring. Above 3,000 m the landscape becomes rocky and dramatic — especially near the summit plateau.
Main trekking routes in the park
- Imlil → Toubkal refuge → summit (classic)
- Azzaden Valley approach (3 day)
- Berber village circuits (cultural trekking)
