Services
We takes
charge of you as soon as you arrive to the Marrakech airport,
and takes you back to the plane when you leave.
Difficulty level
No terrain
difficulty: walking on mule paths, tracks, or sand.
5 to 6
hours walking per day : hikes within the reach of anybody who
likes walking, without necessarily being sporty.
Some years,
at the start of the season, some passes might be closed because
of snow, making us slightly modify the itinerary.
Climbing
up to the top of the Toubkal (4167 m) is optional. But placed at
the end of the tour, when you are well acclimated to altitude,
it should be accessible to all.
Accommodation
In a hotel in Marrakech , on the first and last days of the
stay, very close to the famous Djeema el Fnaa square.
In igloo tents for 2 persons with foam rubber mattresses
during the tour, or in gîtes.
Meals
You will have the opportunity to enjoy typically Moroccan meals
(tajine, couscous,.). Fresh products, canned food as a complement,
meat bought in the mountains. Picnic or salads for lunch, hot
ready-cooked meals for dinner.
We use a cooking tent to prepare meals, and a mess tent to eat.
Water comes from wells. It should be good. However, we advise
you to treat it (Micropur, Hydroclonazone, or equivalent). It is
also possible to find mineral water in some of the crossed
villages.
Transport
For transfers between Marrakech and the starting or end point
of the hike, we use minibuses or four-wheel drive vehicles.
During the hike, mules or dromedaries carry the luggage.

Usually 5 to 12 persons, but the group may be larger or smaller
upon request.
