Per PersonMgoun Trek 8 Days adventure in the High Atlas Mountains Morocco
The Mgoun trek 8 days itinerary offers a well-paced hiking experience through one of Morocco’s most spectacular mountain regions. This route leads you deep into the High Atlas Mountains, passing through ancient villages, narrow gorges, and lush valleys. While other routes may be more touristy, this trail gives you a closer look at rural life in Morocco. As a result, it’s perfect for those seeking authentic landscapes and cultural connections.
From the starting point in the Aït Bouguemez Valley, your path gradually ascends into the towering peaks of the Mgoun Massif. Every day brings a new contrast — from green terraced fields to rocky plateaus and dramatic ridge lines. Because the trail includes several high passes, it provides rewarding views throughout the journey.
Connect With Local Traditions and Nature
The beauty of the Mgoun trek 8 days experience lies not only in the scenery but also in the chance to meet local Berber communities. Villagers often welcome hikers with hospitality, offering mint tea and conversation. Consequently, the cultural element adds more depth to the trekking adventure.
Your nights will be spent in tents or guesthouses, depending on the section of the route. Each evening, traditional Moroccan meals are prepared by the trekking team. Although the days can be long, the support staff and mules help lighten the load, so you can focus more on enjoying the trail.
Why Choose This Route
Unlike shorter treks, this full eight-day version allows for better acclimatization and less rush. This means you can maintain a steady pace without missing key highlights like the Tarkeddit Plateau or the ascent of Mgoun Summit (4068m). Furthermore, rest days or shorter walking sections are included to balance the effort across the week.
Choosing the Mgoun trek 8 days itinerary offers a complete view of the High Atlas terrain while avoiding the crowds often found on the Toubkal route. Above all, it creates space for personal reflection and natural beauty without feeling rushed. Follow us on Facebook.
