HIKING HIGH ATLAS : M'GOUN :
With the help of a native mountain guide who knows
perfectly the area, you will come across nomads and drive through some
magnificent and remote scenery. Assistance is provided by a team of practised
muleteers.
MGOUN Trek "8 Days "
From 03 To 10 October 2005
In the north of Central High Atlas,
where the mountains become impenetrable and practically
no roads cross them, a number of summits tower up reaching the altitude
of 4000metres
above sea level: M'Goun (at 4068 metres) and
Ouaougoultza t (at 3770). At their feet,
the Berber valleys of Ait Bougmez, Ait Bouali and Imehrane, isolated from
the rest of the country,
for a long period, by snow and difficult access, are protected oasis of
prosperity in the middle
of austere and boundless mountains. The inhabitants, proud artisans of an
astonishing
human scenery, have built the most beautiful villages of the Atlas
Mountains .
In these mountains, sheltered from the heat of the plains, this trek will
allow you to discover
mountain people, forgotten in sublime landscapes. You can make the ascent
of M'Goun as well
as the descent of Tassaout, an immense canyon that has been dug out by
the river at the
foot of M'Goun chain.
