Detail about the package
Mount M'goun Ascent Trek
6-Day Mount M’goun Ascent Trek: M’Goun is the second-highest mountain of Northern Africa following the Jebel Toubkal. The summit offers zero climbing interest. However, it is a very attractive trekking destination, particularly when added to a 10-12 day, 200-kilometer circuit that includes the spectacular M’Goun river gorges and various remote Berber villages. The summit is not difficult in summer, however freak snowstorms do occur even in July and high winds are common (we experienced flying rocks). Perhaps 20 people reach the peak daily during this period. The elevation gain from the “base camp” directly to the north of M’Goun is about 1200 meters. Our Compnay ClimbinToubkal in this remote region use local Berber guides
