Trail description

This is only the summit day of the M'Goun trek in the Central High Atlas, from the Tarkeddit refuge along the ridge to Ighil M'Goun, at 4,071 m the second highest peak of Morocco, and back to the refuge in ten to twelve hours. The full trek from the Ait Bouguemez valley usually takes three days: one day up to the refuge, this summit day, and one day back down to the valley. Snow lies on the ridge until May, and a local guide is customary.
