An epic climb in the heart of the Atlas Mountains. Initially it climbs at very moderate percentages. Once past Taddart, the climbs get firmer and the road starts winding delightfully. The views are phenomenal and the autumn colours in the green valley completed the experience. Do keep an eye out for traffic and trucks as it is one of the major through roads in the Atlas, connecting Marrakesh to Ouarzazate.

An epic climb in the heart of the Atlas Mountains. Initially it climbs at very moderate percentages. Once past Taddart, the climbs get firmer and the road starts winding delightfully. The views are phenomenal and the autumn colours in the green valley completed the experience.

Do keep an eye out for traffic and trucks as it is one of the major through roads in the Atlas, connecting Marrakesh to Ouarzazate.

The road surface is of fine quality and also doable for those still cycling on 23/25mm.

Een epische beklimming in het hart van het Atlas gebergte. Aanvankelijk klimt het met zeer matige percentages. Eenmaal voorbij Taddart wordt de beklimmingen steviger en begint de weg heerlijk te slingeren. De uitzichten zijn fenomenaal en de herfstkleuren in het groene dal maakte de beleving helemaal af.

Houd wel rekening met het nodige verkeer en vrachtwagens aangezien het één van de belangrijke doorgaande wegen in de Atlas is en Marrakesh met Ouarzazate verbindt.

Het wegdek is van prima kwaliteit en ook doenbaar voor wie nog op 23/25mm fietst. Op de top kan water aangevuld worden, wat gegeten en een bakkie koffie gedronken worden.
