WALK AROUND Jbel Aoulime<\/div>\n

The Jbel Aoulime (3,445 meters), located above Taroudant, is on the southern slope of the western High Atlas. This mountain range offers multiple routes alternating between forests (walnut and almond trees), gorges, oases and waterfalls. Hikes (in the shade of trees and relief) of several hours are possible and are very pleasant when the temperature begins to rise.<\/p>\n

A guide (Hamid: +212 6 28 58 76 15) can organize your hike from the Afensou Valley. The starting point for hiking (on foot or by mountain bike) is the village of Afensou which overlooks a valley planted with hundred-year-old olive trees under which we cultivate in terraces on either side of the oued. You will find, in the village, possibilities of accommodation (bed and breakfast).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
