The Majestic M'Goun Massif |
||||
The Ighil M’Goun summit is second only in height to Jbel Toubkal, the highest peak in the Maghreb, yet can be hiked up all year round. The remote and beautiful Aït Bou Guemès Valley gives hill walkers and ramblers a long but easy hike past spectacular gorges, isolated Berber villages and mountain streams towards a non-technical ascent of this sacred snow-covered summit. |

| The M’Goun Massif is the largest area of land above 3000m, yet is has no really soaring peaks. Even though it boasts of one of the greatest summits in the entire Maghreb, actual ascent to the highest point at 4068m is not really difficult as your mountain guide will help you to avoid the worst of the scree. An obscure, pre-Islamic tribal cult had made this summit a sacred place, and the tradition continues to this day amongst the Aït Imi peoples. The vista is amazing, giving a sight of the southern M’goun chain and, on a clear day, to the south, the kasbah village of Skoura, the Jbel Sarhro, the valley of the Roses and Jbel Toubkal. | ||||
