That’s where we are going, to the top of Toubkal at 4,167 metres, the highest peak in North Africa. I had spent that first night in the Kasbah du Toubkal, a gorgeous boutique hotel that sits on a plug of rock a 15-minute walk from the nearest road. Back at Kasbah du Toubkal, after the long trudge down, the hammam is absolute bliss. Then I wander up the valley through a forest of pines and out on to a rounded peak. The trip was provided by Kasbah du Toubkal lodge, which organises packages that can include trekking, painting and yoga.
