Ourika, Imlil, Ouirgane or Asni — four very different days sold under one name. Which valley suits which kind of visitor, and how to avoid the waterfall coach crush.

Toubkal, the M'Goun traverse, the Anti-Atlas, the Sahara and Jebel Saghro compared honestly — by days, altitude, difficulty and what each one is actually like underfoot.

The country has walking at every altitude from sea level to 4,167 metres, which means somewhere is always in season — and somewhere is always a mistake.

The blue town is genuinely worth the trip and takes about a day. The mountains it sits in are the least-visited range in Morocco and take considerably longer.
