Description:
Embark on a refreshing half-day hike through the stunning Azzaden Valley as you make your way from the peaceful village of Tizi Oussem to the beautiful Ighoulidène Waterfall. This scenic route follows traditional Amazigh mountain paths, offering a mix of gentle ascents, flowing streams, and dramatic red-rock landscapes.
Along the way, enjoy a relaxing mid-hike stop at a small mountainside shop where you can recharge with fresh orange juice or classic Berber whiskey (mint tea)—all while taking in sweeping views of the valley.
After reaching the cascading Ighoulidène Waterfall and soaking in its cool mist, you’ll hike back to Tizi Oussem where a freshly prepared tajjine lunch awaits—a perfect, flavorful reward after your mountain journey.
