The Walks
Most people who go on guided walking tours worry about how difficult they are going to be and will I be able to keep up with the group or will I be the one that slows them down, well don't worry. Our tours are aimed at those of you who wish to explore the Atlas Mountains at a moderate pace, so you are not expected to be an avid walker or incredibly fit and the walks are 4 to 5 hours in duration. All our walking Guides are experienced and FRMSM guides and all have first aid training.
For our self-guided tours you need to be comfortable with walking without the assistant of a guide. Both our self-guided trails are well sign-posted and we do provide you with detailed instruction, but it is advisable to have some navigational skills.

What if the dates for the group treks don't fit my itinerary?
If this is the case, we can organise a bespoke trek for you. Additionally if you want to spend more time in Marrakech before or after a trek we can organise the hotels and quote you a price.

I am a single trekker. How does this work?
Normally single trekkers have no problems fitting in with a group. Normally single trekkers share rooms or lodges with other trekkers of the same sex, but if we have an odd-number we ensure that a room or lodge is organised accordingly.
Will I be able to deal with the high altitude?
Our itineraries are designed so that our clients ascend at a sensible and safe rate. The effects of altitude are felt by everyone, even the muleteers, but most people find that gentle acclimatisation allows them to reach their high point without any problems.

What Do I Bring Along
It is not necessary to bring large amounts of clothing as nowadays there is a readily availability or places where you can have your clothes washed and dried and we will take them there for you. We have listed a few essentials that you will have to bring along and when you make your booking we will send you out a full list of essentials.
