Tow Valleys Hike

Our tow-day/one-night tour walk to Azzaden Valley from Agersioual at a modest altitude of around 2,000m. The terrain at this altitude has a Mediterranean feel with dusty red earth thick with gnarled juniper bushes and wild mint and thyme. The Azzaden Valley, however, was a photographer’s dream with lush autumnal walnut trees densely crowding mountain streams on the valley floor and perfectly offsetting the rocky, dusty monochrome valley flanks.

Our tow-day/one-night tour walk to Imnane Valley from Imlil The trail takes you up to 2279m before descending to Ouaneskra and a night in a local Gite. After the large village of Tachddirt, the trail takes you over the Tizi nou Agersioual pass (2000m), before continuing to Agersioual village then back to Marrakech.
