Escape the main trekking traffic by hiking through the Azzaden Valley. This route offers terraced agriculture, walnut groves, and high mountain passes.
The Azzaden Valley provides a quieter alternative to the busy Mount Toubkal trail. You will walk past mud-brick homes and see locals working in the fields.
This route requires a licensed local guide for foreign trekkers, just like the rest of the high-altitude park. Prepare for steep ascents and changing weather as you cross between valleys.
2 hoursHigh mountain pass
This 2,489-meter mountain pass connects the Imlil and Azzaden valleys. The climb requires physical effort but rewards you with wide views of the surrounding peaks. Watch for herds of grazing goats and sheep along the trail.
1-2 hoursSpring runoff
These cascading waterfalls sit high in the mountains above the valley. The water flow reaches its peak in the spring when the winter snow melts. The falls provide a cool resting spot before you continue your descent.
1-2 hoursBerber village
This traditional Berber village features mud-brick homes and stepped agricultural terraces. It sits away from the heavy foot traffic of the main Toubkal route. Stop here to experience local hospitality and rest during a multi-day hike.
