With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Guidebooks - Cicerone - The High Atlas - Treks and climbs on Morocco's biggest and best mountains

By Hamish Brown

The High Atlas mountains of North Africa offer some of the finest trekking and climbing in the world, with hospitable guides, a good climate for much of the year and an almost untouched mountaineering potential. Once you’ve experienced the contrasting landscapes, romantic cities and welcoming people of Morocco, it’s easy to become hooked.

This inspirational book is packed with anecdotes and insights about the best treks and climbs in the High Atlas mountains of Morocco, in North Africa, and drawn from the author's 50-year experience. Illustrated with dazzling photographs of the mountains and also the mountain people, the Berbers. 48 routes including Jbel Toubkal, Tazekka and Igdat.

Technical Information
  • All the biggest and best summits including...
    • Jbel Toubkal (4167m) – the highest mountain in North Africa
    • Tazekka – covered right to the top by magnificent cedar forests
    • Igdat – first climbed in an extraordinary feat of mountaineering by Joseph Thomson in 1888
    • Ouaougoulzat – a popular ski-mountaineering destination
    • The improbable ascent of the Cathedral rock tower
    • Tizi Mkorn – between the desert gorges of Dadès and Todra
    • The peaks around the rim of the Tichka Plateau
  • Activities

  • Seasons
    • If you can cope with snow climbs, winter into spring is a good time to visit; spring is the perfection, with blossom and life awakening, and as late as June alpine flowers will still be colouring high ground; by July the temperature is soaring and tends to stay so until the autumn equinox; autumn is harvest time, and storms are less likely, but you'll find a burnt-up landscape; November, December and January are the least good months
