Summit M'goun Trekking
The Mgoun mountains offer amazing treks with magnificent views, hidden villages, dramatic gorges, and a glimpse of Berber culture. The trek from the Ait Bougmez valley to the summit of Djebel Mgoun shows you a less crowded corner of Morocco than some of the more popular High Atlas routes. Below, see some more thoughts about your tour.
With its 4068m, Mount M’goun is the second highest peak of the Atlas Mountains. It has a very different landscape from Toubkal mixing mountains, high cliffs and wide valleys thoroughly cultivated.
This trip is runing along M'goun river and its fields, inhabitants and high Kasbahs. The natural landscaps are very famous : Gorges of M'goun, mountains....
