8 Days M’goun Summit, Trek Include Panoramic Views From Mount M’Goun

We drive from Marrakech towards Azilal. After arriving at the pretty plateau of Tabant, we start our first two-hour walk towards our camp at Azib n’Ikis. Today’s walk takes us along the Assif n’ Arous Valley (1,825 meters), and the steady climb takes us through a canyon of golden rock walls on both sides. This evening’s camp is at Ighil n’ Ikkis where an old shepherd’s lodge, known as Azib Ikkis (2,234 meters), offers the perfect mini plateau for camping and gives impressive views of the Igoudame peak (3,519 meters) that lights up at sunset.
Included: Private Transport (5 hrs), Dinner
Elevation gain: 400m; Walk 2-3 hrs

Today we set out to tackle Morocco’s second-highest peak, Jbel Mgoun (4,068 meters). It’s a long and tiring day, but a rewarding one as we make our way along the top ridge which offers an amazing panoramic vista as far as the eye can see. We pass through the area’s moon-like terrain made up of rocks, scree, and snow that is the trademark of Mgoun’s higher landscape. Eventually, the mountain’s round peak comes into sight and the last part of the trek brings more zigzag until we reach the top. The descent takes us into a caldera where we then head east along a riverbed and up along a ridge giving impressive views of the Tinoughrin range as we make our way to the Oulilimt river valley to camp at 2600 meters.

Elevation gain of 1,200m initially then loss 500m; Walk 5-7 hrs

A more leisurely day than yesterday. Descend along Oulilimt river valley, which may have a flowing stream until July if the previous year brought enough snow. We make our way along the valley, crisscrossing and zigzagging with the river. The day’s end brings us to an abandoned refuge that is now a nomadic hut that once housed an impressive well used by the nomadic shepherds and their families. We walk past this around a bend that opens up to a grassy embankment where we camp for the night.
