Your local guides use mules to transport your main bag, allowing you to carry only a small bag with essentials like water, sun cream, and waterproofs while trekking. Your belongings that will be taken by mules should be packed in a flexible duffel bag and weigh no more than 8kg.

We follow a sensible acclimatisation plan suitable for most participants, which includes regular breaks and a gradual increase in sleeping altitude. Altitude affects everyone differently, so it's crucial to inform your guide of any symptoms (e.g., headache or nausea) you may experience.

Each group has 8 people. On occasion, we may have space for 16 participants on a trip. In such cases, we'll divide the group into two. If this happens, we'll inform you, ensuring you remain with anyone else you may have booked alongside.

Normally we have set 4 pm airport pick-up. However, if there are guests who arrive late, we can usually extend it to 7h30 pm. Likewise, when we see that the entire group is arriving earlier, we can arrange an earlier transfer. Please message us after booking through the 'Message Your Guide' button to discuss pick-ups.

Yes, you can leave anything you don't need.

We recommend tipping between £50-100 per customer for the entire trip. However, the final amount is completely at your discretion and should be based on your satisfaction with the services provided.

Climbing Toubkal in winter (November- May) is a very different experience from the warmer months. Depending on annual conditions, snow covers the mountain top which brings additional challenges to the route. We usually expect snow from early January to mid-May but some years, the snowy season lasts longer or is shorter than usual so it's hard to predict exact conditions. The main difference if you are planning to trek during the winter months is that you will need additional equipment. Crampons and icepicks (which can be rented) become necessary to safely navigate the snow and ice-covered mountainside. This makes the trek somewhat tougher. We generally recommend winter treks for those with some prior mountaineering experience. You will also need additional, warm clothing layers.
