Transfer from Marrakech to Tabant (1850m) where we meet our muleteers and guide. From here we walk the short distance toIguelouene then to Abachkou (1800m) where we spend our first night in the camp.
Today we walk involves an ascent of 600 meters crossing theTighist Pass (2399m) followed by a gradual descent to our campsite at Tarbaln’Tirsal.
Today we walk about 7 hours, though it includes an ascent of 300 meters over a pass before dropping down into the valley to spend our night in the camp near the village of Imazayn. On the way we pass below the imposing peaks of the Jebel Rat (3781m)
From Imazayn the trail goes over a pass about 2500m and then descends to the village of Imi n’Tizgui. From Here we walk down to the valley through Tissili, down to the river into the main valley with an impressive scenery. After about 7 hours walking we reach the village of Ifoulou where we spend the night.
Again we mainly follow the river valley, at times very narrow and at times widening out into fertile plains. We cross and re-cross the river as we pass a number a typical Berber villages before reach the Amezri village (2250m)
Today we leave Amezri following the river before heading up to a pass of about3200m a strenuous climb, before descending again to our campsite on an attractive mountain pasture. An alternative route, involving a very difficult climb, it takes you deep into the gorge as far as the river source.Recommended for competent climbers with suitable equipment.
Today early morning we climbThe summit of M’Goun (4068m) is straightforward and technically easy. It is, however, long – a round trip of about 10 hours back to the campingsite. The ascent takes about 6 hours from the campingsite and involves quite a lot of tiring scree walking. There are spectacular views from the summit. The return is partly retracing our steps and partly a steep descent into a valley before heading back to the camping site.
Today we will climb up to the ridge of Tachedidd after a short while from the camping site , we will enjoy a panorama views over the surrounding mountains. Eventually we will descend steeply and continue down the Arous valley to Ait Said then to Iskattene where we spend the night.
Today a short walk to Tabant, where we’ill transferring back to Marrakech
