3 days.
Suitable for trekkers with good cardio fitness who can handle sustained uphill hiking and high altitude; prior multi-day hiking experience recommended.
The route is non-technical but long and steep; the main challenge is altitude and sustained ascent — expect slow, steady pacing and 3–5 hours from the refuge to the summit.
Yes — the tour includes mules to carry luggage, so you should pack a small daypack for summit essentials and leave larger bags for the animals.
You’ll stay in simple mountain guesthouses in Aremd with communal facilities and in the Toubkal Refuge with basic dormitory-style sleeping arrangements and shared bathrooms.
Late spring to early autumn offers the most stable conditions; winter brings deep snow and requires mountaineering gear and experience.
