Highest point

The older Atlas crossing, R203, narrower than Tichka and less photographed. A pass at 2,092 m, villages on the wall, then Asni and the Toubkal side. This is the one that still feels like a pass.

Top highlights

  • Tizi n’Test summit2,092 m. The south face you climbed, the north you will drop.
  • TinmalThe Almohad mosque on a spur. A stop if the gate is open.
  • Road qualityPatchy tarmac, drop-offs without a wall, rockfall after rain. Snow shuts it. Slower than Tichka on purpose. Trucks are fewer; the road is worse.
