The High Atlas begins about an hour from Marrakech. Our treks start from Aguersioual, Imlil or Imi Oughlad and walk the old mule paths between Berber villages, over passes of 2,000 to 2,500 m, with the summit of Toubkal, 4,167 m, above them all.
On every multi-day trek a licensed local guide leads, mules carry the luggage and a cook prepares the meals, often on the pass itself. You carry only a day pack. Nights are in village guesthouses, family homes and, on the Toubkal circuit, camps and the refuge.
