Reviews of M’Goun

At 13,356 feet , M’Goun is the third highest peak in Morocco's High Atlas Mountains.

My suggestion:
This is a genuine trip off the beaten track.
My review

The natural landscape of the M’Goun mountain is amongst the most spectacular you could imagine, with its sedimentary rock formations, dizzyingly high peaks and its often fast-flowing and turbulent waterfalls. I really enjoyed the gorges, with their purple and indeed even orange tones. These occur across the extent of this mountain massif, with its succession of canyons and green, verdant valleys.

You can begin your walk from Tabant and finish at Aït Alla, with Douar d’Aït Ali n’Ito in particular a notable place to pass through along the way. I strongly advise you to hire a guide, preferably in Tabant: the town is famous for its mountain guide training school.

Prepare yourself for a good four to five days of hiking, including sections along stony trails, river crossings (with the water sometimes reaching up to your waist) and quite steep mountain passes at altitudes of over 6,500 feet. The landscape you will be travelling through, however, is utterly beautiful, wild and still unspoiled. I recommend visiting the village of Magdaz to the south of Aït Ali n’Ito for the chance to see the architecture of its tower-houses.
