At the heart of the mountains
The Azilal region is at the heart of the High Atlas. The peaks can be as high as 4000m. Sometimes the valleys are squeezed into steep gorges or foaming canyons. Heading out from the town are many organized walks into the neighboring M’Goun mountains or to the famous Ouzoud waterfalls. You can find one of the most beautiful watercourses in Morocco here.
 

Rivers and lakes
In this still-preserved mountain paradise, lakes and rivers abound. Admiring them is a pleasure. You can also do several activities there. Fishing, water sports and – for the more sporty – rafting and canoeing; everything is possible on this high ground away from the tourist areas.
 

Discovering the valleys
Depending on your level and what you want, you can choose gentle activities like fishing, walking or donkey riding.

And discover the magnificent surrounding valleys. The Tassout, Aït Bouwili and Aït Bouguemez valleys – featuring pleasant countryside and picturesque and welcoming villages. If you're bursting with energy, there's no lack of sporting activities:

in summer, bike riding, paragliding, canyoning or climbing; and in winter, the famous combination of mule-skiing, a local specialty. Here, it's paradise whatever the season...
 

Stories of old
History lovers should not miss the prehistoric site at Tizi N’Tirguist with its cave paintings on pink clay slabs. Or the one in Iroutane, which has 65 million-year-old fossilized dinosaur footprints. The Iroutane prehistoric site can be found about 7km
 

To remember
The Azizal region is a miracle of nature. In all seasons, the mountains and valleys offer astonishing landscapes and activities for all.
