Countries Visited: Morocco
Essential Information
Trip Profile
5 days walking with full porterage. Altitude maximum 4167m, average 2600m.
Accommodation
4 nights semi-participatory camping, 1 nights gites with shared private facilities and 2 nights 3-star hotel in en suite rooms.
All camp chores are done for you from erecting/dismantling of your tent to all the cooking and washing up. Official campsites simply do not exist in the areas we visit, yet we are able to use the services of nearby refuges.
All the hotels we use are of a similar standard, clean and functional although the rooms and facilities may be basic and limited and the breakfasts simple.
Food
All breakfasts, 5 lunches and 5 dinners included.
Reality Check
This is a challenging yet non-technical short trek to an area of outstanding scenic and cultural interest.
Much of this trek is on mule trails but there are some rough paths that involve walking on scree. All 5 days walking include full porterage and you should be prepared for a couple of long days walking (maximum 8-9 hours).
There can be snow patches in late April/early May and from the end of September so crampons may be needed for April and October departures.
Altitude maximum 4167m, average 2600m.
Altitude Warning - This trip goes to high altitudes where there is a risk of being affected by Acute Mountain Sickness. Please refer to the Altitude Warning below for further information. Three nights are spent over 3000m in the most basic mountain refuge throughout the trip, which is understandable considering its location.
Our hotel in Marrakech is of a good standard and usually has a swimming pool to help relax after a challenging trek.
If you would like to a more strenuous ascent of Mt Toubkal, using ice axe and crampons, please check out our winter itinerary - Mt Toubkal Winter Climb (trip reference TMW).
Normal group size and age
Normally 5 to 16, plus leader and appropriate local staff. Minimum age 16.
Icons explained
The vast majority of Exodus adventures are adult group holidays. Groups are always small in size. We strongly believe that this adherence to small groups means a better experience for all; more time with your guide, less waiting around and a reduced impact on the communities and environments visited.
Each group is generally made up of like-minded travellers - with singles, couples and friends all joining in together.
All these trips are suitable for single travellers, but if you prefer to travel with clients booking individually, please
see our Solo Departures page.
Fitness is important and you may have to improve yours before departure. Most treks at this grade compare to extended walking in mountainous terrain such as the Lakes of Snowdonia, but usually at significantly higher altitudes; climate and remoteness can also play a part. Previous trekking experience is desirable, but not vital if you are confident of your physical condition.
Serious Adventure: These trips are what Exodus is all about. Join us!
Walking & Trekking: Trips are wholly trekking-focused or simply include a significant number of walking days during the itinerary.
For those clients who wish to travel with a group of other solo/single travellers, on certain trips we have set aside departure dates that are specifically recommended for clients booking individually. Solo departures are aimed at taking away that concern that you may be the only solo traveller when you arrive overseas. Look out for the solo departures (marked with a grey icon's') by checking the notes in the dates and prices table.
However, please note that we inform any couples, or friends travelling together, who enquire about these dates that the trip is recommended for solos, but we do not refuse bookings from non-solo travellers, and we are therefore not able to guarantee that a solo departure will be exclusively made up of solo travellers.
