アンティアトラス山脈の峠・トップ13

快適で走りやすい登り。難しいところはない。

Enjoy a great view with a cool drink.

Very rough gravel, difficult to ride on gravel bikes but doable! The descents are fun, and sometimes you have to carry a bit of the bike when the road simply ends.

Superb especially the wide angle landscape photo! Breathtaking

There is no tent at the top anymore, but you can find several little and two bigger stone shelters close to the road. The piste has two interruptions on the east side which have walk around paths. These are easy for light packed bikes and a bit more difficult if you are loaded with panniers. Other than that it’s completely rideable with tires which are 50 mm or wider. The wider the better 2.25-2.6 seems to be a sweet spot.

Pass height at 1660 m

Good but somewhat rough asphalt (2024) with a magnificent view of the southern valley. A decent climb to the north. If you are not planning a round trip and just want to drive towards Tafraoute, I would recommend the eastern route. Although it is significantly further and there are several meters more altitude, the road is much better and the route is more scenic (partly the same but from above to see).

Mostly decent but very rough asphalt (2024) with some damage but little traffic, so you can make full use of the width of the road. To the north a slight climb to Tassirt. I would plan this section as a departure and drive up to Tassirt from the north or east.
