Day 1: Marrakech – Ait Bougmez Valley – Azibs n’Ikkis (2300m)
We will transfer to Azilal, the last town before embarking on a mountain road that leads us into the heart of the Central High Atlas, specifically the valleys of Ait Abbas and the joyful Ait Bougmez. Our 4-Day Mount M’Goun Trek starts with a walk through the traditional Berber villages of the Arous valley, featuring classic adobe architecture. After a 3-hour hike ascending 700 meters, we reach the sheepfolds of Ikkis, where we set up camp for the night at an altitude of 2,300m.
Day 2: Azibs n’Ikkis (2300m) – Tarkeddit Pass (3400m) – Tarkeddit Plateau (2900m)
Ascending via a scenic mule path, we reach the mountain pass of Tizi n’Oughri (3,400 m) to enjoy a panoramic view of the vast northern slope of the M’Goun Massif, the Tarkeddit plateau, and surrounding peaks. After approximately 5 hours and a 1,100m ascent, we descend for about 1.5 hours to our campsite near the sources of the Tassaout River (2,900 m). The rest of the afternoon is for relaxation. Overnight in tents.
