The Tessaut Valley has numerous attractions: its people, its architecture, its natural environment etc., all of which make it the ideal starting point for this high altitude trek. Climbing MīGoun's 4068 metres, we cross the awe-inspiring High Atlas in a north-south direction, submerging ourselves in the deep gorges of the Mīgoun River and the beautiful Valley of Roses. This gives us the chance to discover both sides of the Atlas, with their totally different landscapes and Berber tribes who live in them.
