Reaching 4,068 metres, the Mgoun summit is second in height only to Jebel Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa. The remote and beautiful Ait Bougmez Valley provides relatively easy access and gives hill walkers and ramblers a long but easy hike past spectacular gorges, isolated Berber villages and mountain streams.
Being the second summit of the Kingdom, the Mgoun Massif is located in the High Atlas at approximately 250 kilometres from Marrakech in the province of Azilal, east of Jebel Toubkal. The Mgoun Massif relief is formed by massive mountains bordered by high cliffs, and aired by broad valleys which are thoroughly cultivated.
