An amazing 8 day trek .

Located in the central High Atlas , M’Goun is the second highest mountain in Morocco at 4071m  The ascent is made more difficult by the approach to the summit by a 10 kilometre narrow ridge and the exposure to high winds and rapid changes in the weather. None the less it is a worthwhile climb for the experienced trekker.

Grading – Strenuous to difficult
