The Tizi 'n Tichka pass crosses the Atlas Mountains. It is 2260 m above sea level with multiple switchbacks. It is the highest mountain pass in North Africa and was constructed in 1936. Traffic over it has drastically increased since then and includes many tourist buses, chugging their way slowly over 60 miles of steep climbing to the top. I recently took one if these buses and loved the trip. It can have its hair raising moments as the buses are passed on blind bends, by daredevil motor cyclists and crazy overloaded big taxis. Not for the faint hearted. But if you want to visit the southern part of Morocco then there is no choice and the rugged scenery is worth it although the ice and snow over the winter months might just about put me off and I am up for nearly anything.
