What level of fitness do we need?

The level of fitness required depends on the trek chosen. Some treks, for example, Three Valleys, should be within the capabilities of any reasonably fit walker or family. A trek which includes the summit of Toubkal or any of the high passes (above 3000m) is more demanding and requires a higher level of fitness and some experience of mountain walking.

However, our guides will adapt the pace of the trek to your fitness: most days are 5 to 6 hours walking with plenty of time to rest - and admire the views! Remember also that the mules carry your heavy luggage: all you need to carry is a small daypack.

If you have a medical condition, check with your doctor that you are fit enough to participate. In any case it is essential to take out travel and medical insurance in case of accident or illness.
