5-Day Toubkal Trek & Berber Villages
- Private vehicle & driver — Pick-up at your riad, pace set by you
- Local licensed guide — Licensed guide nº2898 · since 2011
- Book on WhatsApp — Reply within 1 hour · no payment at this stage
The 5-day Toubkal trek costs from €330 per person all-in and is the full journey, not just the summit: three days walking village to village through the High Atlas — Tiziane, D’knt and Tizi Oussem, walnut groves and juniper forest, nights in Berber gîtes with home-cooked dinners — before two days of serious climbing crown it at 4,167 m. Licensed mountain guide, mule and muleteer for your bags, private Marrakech transfers, all gîte and refuge nights and full board on trek are included. It is the format for trekkers who want the mountain’s culture as much as its altitude: by the time you start the ascent you are acclimatized by days of walking, fed by family kitchens, and greeted by name in three valleys. May to October season; private departure on your dates with a written quote within the hour.

Not just a summit — a journey. Five days through the High Atlas, sleeping in Berber village guesthouses, eating home-cooked meals with local families, trekking through walnut groves and juniper forests before the mountain reveals itself. Three days among the villages of Tiziane, D’knt, and Tizi Oussem — then two days of serious climbing: Aguelzim Pass (3,560m) and the summit of North Africa’s highest peak at 4,167m. This is the trek for people who want to understand Morocco, not just photograph it. From €330/person · all-inclusive.

Questions travellers ask
How much does 5-Day Toubkal Trek & Berber Villages cost?+
From €330/person · all-inclusive, per person. The price includes licensed mountain guide throughout the trek, mule and muleteer for your bags, private transfers marrakech ⇄ imlil. You receive a written itemised quote before paying anything — no hidden fees.
How long is this tour and when does it depart?+
5-Day, departing on the dates you choose — there is no fixed schedule, because every departure is arranged for you alone.
Is this a group tour or private?+
Fully private: your own vehicle, driver and licensed guide, never seat-in-coach and never mixed with other travellers. The daily pace flexes around you.
How fit do I need to be?+
Our walking days come in honest grades: valley and village walks (2–4 hours, anyone who walks at home), full hill days (4–5 hours with climbs), and the Toubkal summit (a serious two-day effort at altitude, moderate mountain fitness required). Tell us your real level and the route bends to it.
Who leads the treks?+
Licensed Moroccan mountain guides — it is both the law in Toubkal National Park and the difference between walking through a landscape and understanding it. Mules carry the bags on multi-day treks; you carry a daypack.
What gear do I need to bring?+
Broken-in walking shoes or boots, layers (mountain weather turns fast), sun protection and a refillable bottle. For the Toubkal summit add warm gloves, a hat and a headtorch; in winter we arrange crampons and ice axes locally.
Can I combine a trek with the desert?+
Yes — it is one of our signatures. The 5-day Toubkal & Sahara route summits North Africa's highest peak on day two and puts you on a dune crest by day four; several longer circuits weave shorter hikes between the desert and the coast.
