Accommodation
The accommodation on this trip includes two nights at a hotel in Marrakech, one night in a mountain refuge and one night in a gite. Below are the properties typically used. Marrakech: Hotel Gomassine (nights 1 and 4) Our adventure begins and ends at Hotel Gomassine in the Guรฉliz neighbourhood of Marrakech. The hotel itself has a small pool with sun loungers, plus there are plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants nearby. If, upon arrival, you need to pick up anything for the days ahead, the Carre Eden mall is a five-minute walk away, where youโll find international shops and a Carrefour Gourmet supermarket. Mount Toubkal: Les Mouflons Refuge (night 2) One night is in the Toubkal refuge, which has shared facilities. Rooms are dormitory-style and there is a small shop selling snacks and soft drinks. There are showers, although the water is rarely warm so be prepared for a cold shower. Aroumd: Hotel Aremd (night 3) We also spend one night at Hotel Aremd, a gite (guesthouse) near the small village of Imlil. This family-run property has shared bedrooms and shared bathrooms, plus a lovely terrace with views of the Atlas Mountains. Worth knowing Single rooms are only available at Hotel Gomassine in Marrakech.

Guide
There will be a local leader, driver and local muleteers/guides throughout. A second leader will join the group for all walking days with groups of 11 or more. On the winter departures, the group size will usually be between five and 10. Winter departures only: Our guides help you to become accustomed to the techniques of crampons and ice axes, they are not instructors and cannot provide a comprehensive instruction course. It is your responsibility to ensure you have read these Trip Notes carefully and understand the terrain and level of competence required to attend.
Transport
We use a private bus, the size of which will depend on the group size, with a local driver. Roads in Morocco are reasonably good, and driving conditions in towns and on the plains are good. On mountain roads, the pace will be slower. Although the buses normally have air conditioning and heating, this is not up to European/North American standards.
Meals
All breakfasts, two lunches and two dinners are included. Moroccan food is, generally speaking, excellent, though not particularly varied. Breakfasts usually consist of porridge, bread and jam with coffee or tea. Where meals are not included budget for the following approximate prices. Lunches: 60-100 dirhams (US$6-US$10) Dinners: In cities: 80-200 dirhams (US$8-US$19) In small towns and villages: 60-100 dirhams (US$6-US$10) Soft drinks in restaurants: 10-20 dirhams (US$1-US$1.90) Alcohol: Beer 30-50 dirhams (US$2.85-US$5) Wine: 150 dirhams (US$14) and more Vegetarians can be catered for but there is a fairly limited choice of vegetarian cous cous, tajine or omelettes. This is particularly the case during the more rural sections of the trip. Please note that if you have any special dietary requirements you should inform us before the trip. If you have a specific medical/dietary requirements (eg coeliac or vegan) you may find it helpful to bring some food with you from home. We encourage you to bring water bottles and a means of purifying, filtering or sterilising water (see packing section) to drink from cool mountain streams. Bottles of water are available but we strongly discourage buying these as it contributes to plastic waste.
