** PANDEMIC UPDATE **

UNFORTUNATELY, ALL OVERSEAS TREKS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED FOR 2020 AND 2021. WE WILL BE ADDING DATES ONCE TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS HAVE BEEN RELAXED.

The Ait Bouguemez valley, or “happy valley” as its dubbed by the French, is located five hours east of Marrakech and is home to some of the most incredible trekking you will find in Morocco. High mountain passes, deep river gorges and lush green plateaus are just some of the features that make up this incredible landscape.

Jbel M’goun is the highest peak in the M’goun massif and third highest in Morocco sitting at an impressive 4071m. Because of the remote nature of M’goun it has far less visitors as it requires an expedition style approach utilising camps to reach its summit.

Our expedition will take you on an incredible five day journey through the most amazing scenery to M'goun basecamp where you will make your summit attempt. The expedition will be led by British Expedition Leader Matt Cooper and Moroccan mountain guide Abdellah. Our highly experienced team of cooks, porters and muleteers will support the expedition ensuring everything runs like clockwork.

Whos it for.

Some hill walking or trekking experience would be beneficial, however a good level of fitness and a desire for adventure is what’s really required for this expedition! If your unsure about your experience why not send us an email and we can discuss further!

Expedition Main Points

  • Led by a British Expedition Leader and Moroccan guide.

Testimonials

My partner and I booked Matt for two days mountaineering instruction so we could learn how to use ropes on climbs that were out of our comfort zone. We had a fantastic two days and Matts structured approach allowed us to take it all in and practice all the techniques over and over again. We both now feel more confident to take on more adventurous scrambles. Thanks Matt

Fantastic day on the Back to Basics Navigation course with Matt. Very well organised and learnt a lot.

Highly recommended.

Chontelle Wright

A great day out learning how to use a map and compass with Matt. His teaching style gave us just the right amount of information without feeling overloaded. I would highly recommend Matt !

Chris

Just got back from a fantastic weekend with Matt on the Welsh 3k and couldn't have asked for a better time. We had blue skies and cool air so it wasn't too hot and the views were simply incredible. Matt set a great pace allowing us to push our limits but never going beyond what we were capable of and we finished in 18 hours 32 mins. Hes a top bloke and I would certainly recommend him and The Mountaineering Company to anybody. Thanks again Matt. You will certainly see us again next year no doubt!

We attended a navigation course today with Matt. He was fantastic, can’t rate him highly enough! We had no knowledge at all, but have come home feeling confident and ready to tackle our adventure! Thank you Matt for a fabulous, fun day

I thoroughly recommend Matt as a leader & guide. I experienced an exhilarating & fun day with a super group doing Matt's Ogwen Classics day. Matt managed our mixed levels of ability & confidence with a calm, encouraging, alert & purposeful manner. He inspired confidence through recognition of our efforts & shared his knowledge & experience to support our skill development. The day passed all too quickly!

Recently attended an intermediate rock skills course in the Peak District. Really great weekend and excellent fun. Matt is a top bloke; very knowledgeable and just the right amount of laid back. Allows all the information to really sink in - effective teaching!

Excellent day out with Matt on my first ever Scramble. I found it pretty tough in places but Matt was always there to put me at ease, offer instruction and with his support I made it to the top. Would highly recommend to others.
