TOUBKAL TESTIMONIALS

"A suspended moment in another latitude, of pushing boundaries, of sharing, of laughter, of pure joy, and kindness. One thing is certain: I had never seen the stars so closely; it was up there that I saw them shine in their eyes. Thank you to Mohamed, our guide, for showing us the way, and thank you to Alex for encouraging me to take the leap... Thank you, Norway, for bringing bubbles to the summit! Well done!"

"When I registered for the Atlas Quest, I checked the option for the 'Toubkal Experience.' It was two and a half days of pure bliss, within a small, caring group, discovering the Giant of the Atlas. I loved the comfort of the inn in Imlil and the warm simplicity of the bivouac before the final ascent, the encounters and solidarity among participants from different backgrounds, the wild beauty of these majestic mountains, and the colorful, vibrant little villages. Following in the footsteps of our guide, Mohamed, I was thrilled to overcome my apprehension about altitude and, for the first time, to successfully cross the 4000-meter barrier. The absolutely magical sunrise atop Toubkal will forever be etched in my memory. I will also cherish the smiles of everyone and the joy we shared. This group was more than ready to head to Oukaimeden and fully embrace the challenges of the Atlas Quest."

"The Atlas Quest truly lives up to its name; it is not just another race, not just another trail, but a quest with many faces. The Atlas Quest is magical, especially when, in the same week leading up to the race, you climb Mount Toubkal. I had come alone on the trail, but it was the footsteps of my 23 travel companions that harmonized in this quest for altitude and grandeur, this beauty found in the eyes and kindness that makes you believe in a life of peace."

"What a wonderful idea to offer this experience in the territory that welcomes us to run! How fortunate to appreciate it while walking, without a timer (let’s not exaggerate, though 😊). This isn’t my first time treading these mineral, rocky paths, yet the pleasure of escape and freedom remains the same. Just a small backpack, a guide, a cook, sturdy mules, and their muleteers—that’s all I need. I feel a genuine relief in being content with just the essentials, adapting to what I can’t control, and meeting the trekkers in our group, all here to experience the legendary Djebel Toubkal. I love the early morning start and the parade of fireflies... and then the reward: Toubkal in the rising sun, perfectly timed. Two days of disconnection, exchanges, and reflections. More than just acclimatizing to the altitude for the upcoming races, could this be a more complete preparation?"
