The trek at a glance

  • Start: Atougha (via Taliouine)
  • From the city: Ouarzazate / Taroudant
  • Where you sleep: Village homestays and camps
  • When not to go: Winter can put snow on the summit; low valleys are very hot in summer.
  • Guide: A guide is recommended for the tricky final section (Rough Guides).

Insurance: SafetyWing's base plan covers hiking up to 4,500 m on official paths (their terms); winter routes with crampons may need their add-on. See SafetyWing (affiliate link).
