Mgoun Massif & Rose valley 15 days
Period:
from April to November
Duration:
15 days/ 12 days walking
Grade:
medium
The Mgoun Massif forms the most southerly of
the three ridges, which make up the High Atlas. Our trek is a
high circuit in the Central Atlas and starts in the beautiful
valley of the Ait Bougemez. Not only do we enjoy the majestic
scenery of these rugged mountains, but also the friendly and
fascinating culture of the indigenous Berbers. It is a wild
area, which in comparison with the Jebel Toubkal region, sees
very few groups and subsequently has a more simplistic tourist
infrastructure. In many ways however the scenery is more
magnificent with extensive terracing, green broad valleys
pierced with irrigation canals, areas of walnut copses, strange
rock formations and colours, with the villages clinging to the
mountainsides. Above all this soars the peak of Mgoun at just
over 4000 metres, only slightly less than Toubkal itself. All in
all it is perhaps a more interesting mountain, because instead
of endless scree fields, the 'Alpine start' takes you up to a
high roller coaster ridge, along above and past a huge cirque (corrie)
to the summit. We have watched Lammergeiers land on this high
point in previous years!
