Asked before a “waterfall walks” day

Can you swim?

It depends on season and flow. The Akchour pools swim in spring and early autumn; the water stays cold all year. In spate, swimming is out and the guide will say so.

When do the falls actually run?

March to June on snowmelt, then again in September and October after the first rains. At the height of summer several falls are down to a trickle.

Does this work with children?

Often yes — these are short walks, a few hours there and back. But the approaches are slippery and some sections cross wet rock: grippy shoes, and a hand for the youngest.
