2-Day Private Toubkal Massif Trek to Aroumd

No, this trek stays in the foothills and villages around the Toubkal Massif, including Aroumd and the Tizi n'Tamaterte Pass, offering mountain views without a summit attempt, making it accessible to a wider range of fitness levels than the dedicated Toubkal ascents.

Travellers wanting to reach the summit should look at our dedicated Toubkal trek options instead.

This trek runs as a private departure for your own group rather than joining a fixed group, so the pace and timing can be adjusted, and optional extras such as a mule ride or cooking lesson can be arranged directly with your guide.

It's a good option for families or small groups wanting more flexibility.

Optional extras include a mule ride along the trail, a Berber cooking lesson in the village, and the option to add an extra night in Imlil before transferring back to Marrakech, each available at an additional cost.

Let your guide know your interests when booking so these can be arranged in advance.

This trek is graded medium, with moderate ascents and descents and daily walking of 4 to 5 hours, covering around 10km on day one. No technical climbing or previous high-altitude experience is required.

The private format also means the pace can be adjusted to suit the group's fitness level.

The one night of the trek is spent in a comfortable guesthouse in Imlil, such as Chez Mimi or a similar property, offering a comfortable base after the first day's trekking to Aroumd.

An extra night can be added on request for those wanting more time in the mountains.

The route offers views towards Jbel Aguelzim at 3,547 metres, Aksoual at 3,847 metres, Adrar Adj at 3,122 metres and Jbel Oukaimeden, giving a genuine sense of the Toubkal Massif's scale without needing to climb it.

These views are a highlight of day two in particular, from the Tizi n'Tamaterte Pass.

The minimum age is 10, and the private, flexible format suits families and small groups particularly well.

Group sizes range up to 20 people, though most bookings for this private trek are smaller family or friend groups.

Comfortable walking boots, layered clothing for changing mountain temperatures, and a waterproof jacket are essential, along with sun hat, sunglasses and sun cream.

A small daypack, reusable water bottle and camera for the mountain viewpoints round out the essentials.

No summit attempt is included, so previous high-altitude experience is not required, though reasonable general fitness helps given the moderate ascents and descents on day one.

This makes it a more accessible option than our dedicated Toubkal summit treks.
