Inhabited by the Ait Atta tribe, the area comes to life in summer with grazing goats and camels. Local Berber tribes live in small communities, leading semi-nomadic lives and cultivating fertile lands such as Ait Bougmez Valley and Rose Valley.

The wildlife that can be seen in these mountains include hare/rabbit,fox, toads,frogs, vultures, and the rare Bonelli-eagle. A few of the trees include junipers, oak tree, scrub willows, and poplars.

7 Day trek in M’goun Mountain 4068m

The M’goun Mountain  4068m,  is located in the central part of the High Atlas Mountains . The  Mgoun summit consists of a long ridge that approach or exceed the 4000 meters over a distance of five  kilometers. In fact this is a ridge anticline . The rock to the surface, is a limestone disk. Its northern side has been sculpted by glaciers during the ice ages of the Quaternary so that today there are fourteen valleys aligned perpendicular to the ridge.

The Ighil Mgoun is a popular destination for hikers practicing trekking , in  Mgoun Mountain range where you feel you are really in wild area because of its remoteness.
