Preguntas frecuentes

La duración del trekking depende de la región y de tus intereses. En general, puede variar de 2-3 días hasta casi un mes. Incluso la misma ruta puede tener diferentes duraciones según la condición física, deseos e intereses de cada persona.

La dificultad depende de la región y la duración. Las rutas cortas suelen ser más fáciles, mientras que las largas requieren mejor condición física. Hemos clasificado nuestras rutas del 1 al 3:

Nivel 1 (Fácil) Tend to be short day walks and rambles at low altitudes. Grade 1 walks can be enjoyed by anyone who leads a reasonably active life and no special preparation is required.

Nivel 2 (Moderado) Will usually involve some longer walks (4-6 hours/day) at low altitudes (below 3000m). Some previous hill walking experience would be beneficial but these walks should be within the capabilities of those who lead a normal active life. Grade 2 walking tours may contain some optional strenuous days, and in order to get the best out of the trip, we would advise that you tone up your fitness before you join.

Nivel 3 (Difícil) Are for the more serious hill walker and a higher level of physical fitness is required. Walking days are normally 6-8 hours and may involve up to 900m or more of ascent and descent. You should be prepared for several consecutive days walking, often at higher altitudes, so stamina is important.

En ciudades como Marrakech, el alojamiento será en hoteles o riads. Ofrecemos opciones desde lujo hasta económicas. Durante el trekking, el alojamiento depende de la época y preferencias. Puedes alojarte en casas rurales (gîtes) o acampar en tiendas de campaña.

Aunque siempre intentamos ofrecer el mejor alojamiento posible, algunos gîtes, especialmente en pueblos pequeños, son básicos. Las habitaciones suelen ser pequeñas y con baños compartidos. Aun así, ofrecen camas cómodas y suelen estar gestionados por familias locales amables.

Durante el trekking, todas las comidas están incluidas. Si te alojas en un gîte, la familia preparará comida marroquí deliciosa. En campamentos, un cocinero experimentado prepara los alimentos.

Debes estar preparado para cambios bruscos de clima. Por eso el equipo debe elegirse cuidadosamente. Puede haber lluvias o nieve repentinas. Sin embargo, el clima es más estable en la temporada de trekking.

Para el trekking en el Atlas debes prepararte como para cualquier zona montañosa: puede hacer calor durante el día, pero el clima puede cambiar rápidamente con nieve y viento frío (otoño a primavera). Aquí tienes el equipo recomendado.

Para excursiones de un día, bastan zapatillas cómodas. Para rutas largas, se recomiendan botas de senderismo resistentes pero ligeras. Es mejor comprarlas antes de llegar a Marruecos y usarlas previamente para mayor comodidad.

Puedes alquilar equipo en Imlil a buen precio, pero es preferible llevar tu propio material para mayor comodidad.

On all our camping treks we provide all the tents, sometimes dome tents, sometimes sturdy A-frames and normally people share one tent between two; a foam mattress each; all the cutlery and utensils, cooking pots, stoves; candles/kerosene lantern, tables and stools, kitchen tent, dining tent and toilet tent; all the main meals while trekking but not snacks. When you stay overnight in local gites, you will not have to bring any equipment. If you spend the night in the Toubkal Refuge, you will need to bring your own sleeping bag (or rent one in Imlil).

Altitude sickness is a serious problem. However, the risks of altitude sickness in the High Atlas Mountains is very small. In the years that we have offered treks and walks in the Atlas Mountains, our guides have never experienced a client with altitude sickness. Of course, our guides are trained to spot any signs of altitude sickness and know how to deal with it.

Mount Toubkal is prepared for any emergency situation and knows how to handle it. Our guides are trained in first aid and can deal with most of the basic ailments that occur during a trek. Every client should have his own insurance before coming to Morocco for the case of emergency.

All guides we work with are government approved and have followed a mandatory training in the Center CFAMM, which makes them official and certified guides. Next, to this training, they, of course, have many years of guiding experience in Morocco. Most of them have been spending years exploring the country. Our guides are trained in first aid and know how to handle any situation. All our guides speak English and French and are happy to share their deep knowledge of the country and beauty of Morocco with you. We believe in and follow the idea that it’s not enough to take visitors to special places or special cultures, we need to provide guides who can get people feel involved in what they are experiencing, explain it thoroughly and keep them entertained. Our main concern is to make your trip to Morocco safe, memorable and fun!

Tips are appreciated by your support team after the trip. The amount depends on your budget and appreciation of their work. Some trekkers give 10% of the total tour cost as tips.

Depending on the situation, you can modify it to some extent after consulting with your guide. However, the date of trek completion should always coincide with the original itinerary. On occasion, local weather conditions may require the trekking route to be altered to ensure your safety
