A thin wind moves across the plateau as the first headlamps puncture pre-dawn blue — the massif of M’Goun looms like a folded ridge daring you to climb. On this seven-day traverse, walkers move from the cultivated terraces of Ait Bougmez into the raw bone of the Central High Atlas, crossing passes, camping on windswept plateaus and threading narrow canyon rivers where water insists on slowing your pace.

Acclimatize before summit day
