Ben je onderweg naar de Tizi n'Tichka of kom je er net vandaan, dan moet je absoluut deze weg nemen. Zowel omhoog als naar beneden is het continu genieten. Je rijdt door een kloof met rode rotsen, met daar doorheen de rivier met groene uitloop die een schitterend contrast geven. En dat terwijl je in de achtergrond de besneeuwde toppen van de Hoge Atlas ziet liggen. Daarnaast kom je langs verschillende kleine traditionele dorpjes met lemen huizen en zie je ook verschillende kasbahs. Absoluut hoogtepunt is de sequentie van haarspeldbochten net voorbij Tizgui N'Barda. Score, 5 sterren!
