high (mountain) valley and low valley
high valleys are valleys situated in the upper third of a mountain range-just think of the beautiful HOCHTÄLER / high valleys in Switzerland, Italy and Austria.

upper and lower valley
In Piemonte, we have the Bassa Valle di Susa and Alta Valle di Susa, which I've seen translated into English as Lower Susa Valley and Upper Susa Valley.
This could perhaps fit your context.

upper and lower valleys
Although both upper and lower and high and low are cited, a valley in itself is used to refer to where the land level drops and therefore using the term "high" would seem contradictory or conflicting.
