High Atlas
Tizi n'Test runs Marrakech to Taroudant in High Atlas, Morocco. The road is at its best before the first coaches arrive, so staying within a few minutes of the start is worth more than a smarter hotel an hour away. Check the season before you book. Snow can close the pass, narrow with no barriers.
