Ourika Valley: The Lush Gateway
Your first destination, the Ourika Valley, lies at the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, welcoming visitors with its lush vegetation, clear streams, and the backdrop of snow-capped peaks. It’s a place where nature and culture intertwine, as seen in the vibrant weekly markets where locals trade goods just as they have for centuries.
Oukaimeden Valley: The Alpine Adventure
Ascend higher to the Oukaimeden Valley, a stark contrast with its alpine scenery that serves as Morocco’s premier ski destination in the winter. During the warmer months, it’s a haven for hikers and those seeking the tranquility that only high altitudes can offer. The valley is also home to ancient rock carvings, offering a glimpse into the region’s prehistoric culture.
Asni Valley: The Rustic Charm
Finally, the Asni Valley presents a rustic charm with its apple orchards and walnut groves. The weekly souk in Asni is a vibrant affair, where the buzz of trade and the scent of spices fill the air. It is also the gateway to the Toubkal National Park, inviting more intrepid explorers to venture towards the tallest peak in North Africa.
