How hard is the M'Goun trek compared with Toubkal?
M'Goun is lower than Toubkal but longer. Toubkal can be done in two days; M'Goun is normally close to a week, with several days above 3,000 m, so it asks more of your endurance and less of your summit-day nerve.
Do I need climbing experience?
No. The summit is reached on foot along a broad ridge. What you need is good general fitness and the ability to walk five to seven hours a day for several days at altitude.
When does the trek run?
The usual season is roughly April to October. Snow can stay on the high ground into spring, so early-season departures are confirmed with your guide before we accept a date.
Why does the price change with group size?
A departure carries fixed costs whatever the group size — guide, cook, muleteers, mules and the vehicle from Marrakech. Split between more people, the per-person price falls. Three travellers pay €860 each, four to seven pay €760, eight to twelve pay €650. One or two travellers are quoted personally because a private departure at that size cannot be sold at a group rate.
