5-Day M’Goun Trek-Arous Valley to Central High Atlas

                                                                Day 1: Marrakech – Arous Village – Ikiss n’Arous

• Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Marrakech to the beautiful Aït Bougmez Valley, often called the "Happy Valley." After arriving in the village of Arous, you enjoy lunch and meet your trekking team (guide, muleteers). In the afternoon, begin a gentle uphill walk toward Ikiss n’Arous, where you’ll set up camp or stay in a shepherd’s hut for the night.

                                                              Day 2: Ikiss n’Arous – Tarkeddit Plateau

• After breakfast, begin a challenging yet rewarding climb through wild alpine landscapes. You’ll ascend toward the vast Tarkeddit Plateau, a high-altitude zone beneath M’Goun's summit. Enjoy a picnic lunch on the trail and take in the views before setting camp on the plateau.

                                                          Day 3: Summit Day – Tarkeddit to Azib Izabin

• Rise early for the ascent of Mount M’Goun (4,071m), the second-highest peak in Morocco. The climb offers breathtaking panoramic views across the High Atlas. After reaching the summit, descend via a different route toward the remote summer pastures of Azib Izabin, where shepherds graze their flocks. Overnight in tents or simple shelter.

                                                   Day 4: Azib Izabin – Aït Bougmez (via Ikiss n’Arous)

• Today you return to Aït Bougmez Valley, descending via Ikiss n’Arous. Enjoy the changing landscape as you re-enter the green valley filled with terraced farms and Berber villages. Overnight in a local guesthouse in Aït Bougmez.

                                                              Day 5: Aït Bougmez – Marrakech

• After breakfast, drive back to Marrakech, with a stop in Iminifri, a natural rock bridge and viewpoint near Demnate. Arrival in Marrakech in the afternoon marks the end of your adventure.
