Itinerary description
Etapa alpina o com es digui de la travessa a gran alçada de l'Atlas marroquí desde Midelt fins Imilchil. La famosa i dolenta pista des de Midelt fins al circ de Jaffar -preciós-(veure videos a youtube.com) no té res a veure perquè ara es una pista ample i ràpida (veurem quan dura). Després del circ la pista s'estreta i és més irregular sense cap obstacle difícil, només la llargada: 6km d'asfalt incial i 45km de pista. Després hi ha trams asfaltats en males condicions: estret i amb molts de forats i trams de pista. Fins Imilchil hi ha 183km que es poden fer en menys de 6hores. Vam seguir l'antiga carretera que segueix el riu que en una avinguda va destrossar la via. Després de creuar dues vegades el riu que la segueix et trobes una tartera. Dos portejadors que anaven a peu per l'antiga carretera abandonada van indicar la nova que fent un port de muntanya arribes a Agoudim.
Quatre ports de muntanya d'alçades superiors als 2.000m dos indicats amb rètols i dos sense, el circ de Jaffar i el més alt a 2.600m. Vistes espectaculars en quasi tot el recorregut. Benzineres només a l'inici i al final. L'endemà vam pujar als llacs, el primer per ctra. i el segon per pista ample en bon estat. Lloc d'acampada en el primer. El segon l'entorn és molt àrid.
Alpine stage of the high level crossing of the Moroccan Atlas from Midelt to Imilchil. The famous and bad track from Midelt to the circus of Jaffar -previous-(watching videos on youtube.com) has nothing to do with it because now it's a fast and fast track (we will see it when it lasts). After the circus the track is narrowed and is more irregular without any difficult obstacle, only the length: 6km of asphalt and 45km of track. Then there are asphalted sections in poor condition: narrow and with many holes and sections of track. Up to Imilchil there are 183km which can be done in less than 6hours. We followed the old highway that follows the river that in an avenue destroyed the road. After crossing twice the river that follows you you will find a scree. Two porters that were walking on the old abandoned highway indicated the new one that made you reach a mountain pass to Agoudim.
Four mountain ports with elevations above 2,000m two indicated with signs and two without, the circus of Jaffar and the highest at 2,600m. Spectacular views in almost all the route. Baskets only at the beginning and at the end. The next day we went up to the lakes, the first to cross. And the second for wide track in good condition. Camping site in the first. The second one is very arid.
