The Central High Atlas Mountains are the setting for this five-day trek to the summit of Ighil M’Goun, which, at 4068m, is Morocco’s second highest peak, and one which sees fewer visitors than Jebel Toubkal, the country’s highest peak. This mule-supported trek takes us along little-known trails used by nomads and not hikers - hence allowing us to camp in wilderness locations with just the mountains (and the occasional nomad family) for company. With its temperate climate, it’s a region that can be comfortably explored during spring and summer, with pleasant day time temperatures and usually mild nights. The trek is suitable for weekend walkers and more experienced trekkers alike and offers some of the most unspoilt villages and spectacular scenery in Morocco.
