Trekking Mgoun

The Jbel Mgoun in the Ait Bougammez region, which at 4068m is the 4th highest peak in the High Atlas, we can testify that this mountain is a far more challenging objective than Toubkal! We knew this anyway as we have climbed Mgoun in winter a number of times before, but each time we seem to climb it we are reminded of the seriousness of the place.
