FAQ

What kind of equipment / clothing do I need to bring?

You should bring good hiking boots, weather-appropriate clothes (layers), a daypack, water bottle / hydration, sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), possibly a sleeping bag or liner (especially in colder seasons), warm clothes for nights, and possibly gear like headlamp or trekking poles depending on conditions.

What is the difficulty / fitness level required? Is this trek suitable for beginners?

The 2-day trek is doable for moderately fit people — you don’t need technical climbing skills, but you should have decent fitness. The first day is a steady climb from base village (e.g. Imlil) up to a refuge; the second day includes early-morning summit attempt and descent. If you are comfortable walking 5–6 h one day and a longer day (summit + descent) the next, you should be fine.

When is the best time to do it / what about weather?

The ideal seasons are spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November), when temperatures are milder and the weather is more stable. In winter there can be snow and cold, which requires extra gear (e.g. crampons) and experience

Can I rent hiking / trekking gear if I don’t have it?

Yes — many trek providers allow renting of essential gear (boots, crampons, sleeping bags…) for those who don’t own them

What languages do the guides speak?

In most cases, guides speak English and French — which makes the trek accessible even if you don’t speak Arabic or Berber.

Is the trek safe? Are there any health or safety recommendations?

The route does not require technical climbing, so it’s generally safe for fit hikers. Still, altitude, variable weather, and steep terrain demand good preparation: bring appropriate gear, hydrate well, dress in layers, and if possible acclimatize (e.g. spend a day in base village before starting)
