Frequently asked questions
Do I need mountaineering experience?
No. No technical experience is required, but you need to be fit: day two involves about 8 hours of walking.
Where do we sleep?
At the Toubkal refuge at 3,200 m, or in tents depending on the group's arrangements.
What is included?
An English-speaking guide, return transfers from your Marrakech hotel, trek accommodation, mules for luggage, cooking equipment and all meals during the trek.
What is not included?
Flights, travel insurance, accommodation and meals in Marrakech, drinks, entrance fees and tips.
Does the price change by season?
Yes. The agency has a summer rate (May to October) and a winter rate (November to April), both lower per head for bigger groups (2, 3 or 4+ people).
Is the 2-day Toubkal climb suitable for beginners?
It is doable if you are fit: no mountaineering skills are needed, but the agency rates it as strenuous, with about 8 hours of walking on summit day at 4,167 m. If you are a beginner, the 3-day version gives you more time to acclimatise.
When is the best time to do the 2-day Toubkal climb?
The best period is from April to October, when the trails are clear. The agency also runs winter departures, with a winter rate from November to April and suitable gear.
What should I pack for a High Atlas trek?
Broken-in hiking boots, warm layers (nights are cool at altitude), a waterproof jacket, a headlamp, sunglasses, sunscreen, a water bottle and a small daypack. In winter you need an ice axe and crampons for the summit: ask the agency whether they can be provided.
How does transport from Marrakech work?
Return transfers between your Marrakech hotel and Imlil are included. During the trek, mules carry your luggage and you only walk with a small daypack.
Why book with Amazing Toubkal Trek?
It is a local agency founded by Hassan Fadil, an official mountain and desert guide born in the High Atlas, with more than 10 years of experience. The agency holds licence ODV-37092 and tailors its treks to your needs.
