Toubkal trek 3 days: FAQ
How hard is the 3-day Toubkal trek?
In summer it is a non-technical hike, but long: about 1,450 m of ascent from Imlil to the refuge, then about 960 m to the summit. Regular hikers with good fitness manage it well.
What is the best time to climb Toubkal?
April to October for snow-free trails. From November to March the summit is under snow and you need crampons, an ice axe and an experienced guide.
Do I need a guide to climb Toubkal?
Yes. Hikers in Toubkal National Park must be accompanied by a licensed mountain guide, which is why all our treks are led by certified guides from Imlil.
Should I choose 2 or 3 days?
Three days give better acclimatisation and a higher chance of reaching the summit. Fit hikers short on time can do it in 2 days: compare both in our Toubkal 2-day vs 3-day guide.
