The Toubkal trek 3 days follows the same route as the 2-day climb, but with an extra night in the Berber village of Aroumd. Shorter walking days help you acclimatize, so the summit day feels easier and safer. It is the best choice for first-time high-altitude hikers, families with teenagers and winter climbs. In a hurry?
