We also provide practical guidance on weather conditions, water, seasonal changes, and trekking essentials, helping you stay prepared in every season.

We provide spacious, modern igloo-style tents designed for two people, and larger tents can be arranged for taller guests when requested in advance. Each campsite also includes a traditional Berber tent where guests can enjoy freshly prepared meals, relax, and share stories after a day of trekking.

Refuge

For high-altitude treks, the mountain refuge offers a warm and comfortable place to rest. Facilities include hot showers, Western-style toilets, a heated lounge with electricity, and dining areas where our team serves freshly cooked meals. To keep the refuge clean and comfortable for everyone, hiking boots are left outside, so we recommend bringing lightweight shoes or sandals for indoor use.

Preparing the right clothing and equipment will make your trek in the High Atlas Mountains safer and more comfortable. Weather conditions can change quickly, especially at higher elevations, so we recommend dressing in layers and bringing gear suitable for both warm days and cold mountain evenings.

Clothing for Trekking

  • Wear comfortable, well-broken-in trekking boots or lightweight hiking shoes with good grip.
  • Pack warm clothing, including a down or insulated jacket, a waterproof jacket, thermal base layers, fleece or wool sweaters, trekking trousers, and moisture-wicking T-shirts.
  • Don’t forget warm socks, gloves, a wool hat for cold mornings, and a sun hat or cap for daytime hikes.
  • Lightweight shoes or sandals are also recommended for relaxing at the guesthouse, mountain refuge, or campsite after each day’s trek.

Equipment for Trekking

Bring a trekking duffel bag or backpack for your main luggage and a comfortable daypack for essentials such as water, snacks, extra clothing, and your camera. We also recommend carrying a sleeping bag, reusable water bottles, sunglasses, trekking poles, a headlamp with spare batteries, sunscreen, lip balm, a basic first-aid kit, and a money belt for valuables.
