The drive
One of the most spectacular and intimidating mountain roads in North Africa, scaling the western High Atlas to a 2,093 m summit via sheer unbarriered drops, past the 12th-century Tin Mal Mosque.
The official road status is the only definitive answer, and it changes fast up high. As a guide: the typical driving season runs March to May, and the pass closes for winter snow outside it. Our road note: Landslides and avalanches The live summit weather on this page helps judge conditions today.
When does the Tizi n'Test usually open and close?
In a typical year it is driveable from March to May. Exact dates shift with the snowpack: a heavy winter can push opening weeks later, and early snow can shut it ahead of schedule.
How high is the Tizi n'Test?
The summit of the driven road sits at about 2,141 m (7,024 ft), which is why the season is set by snow rather than by the calendar.
