A harmonious valley, it boasts a varied and colourful geology, preserved forests of thurifer juniper, beautiful agricultural terraces and, in spring, a dazzling display of yellow flowers. Its geology reveals a beautiful palette of orange, ochre, red and grey colours. Each village is the colour of the earth found on its soil, which is what makes the Azzaden Valley so colourful! Finally, let's hope we catch a glimpse of the famous mouflon à manchettes on the way!
