You leave Marrakech before dawn, the city’s heat shrinking behind low foothills as the road climbs into the High Atlas.

On the ridge the wind seems to push you forward; below, the Azzaden Valley folds open in terraces and olive groves.

Trails include steady ascents, loose scree on the pass, and long downhill sections; expect uneven terrain but no technical climbing.
