Vistit Telouet - only 21 km off the main road from Marrakech to Ouarzazate near the top of Tizin Tichka - which is Morocco's second highest mountain pass so its up pretty high in the mountains.
It therefore is an excellent spot for relief from the heat - usually several degrees cooler or more than the heat of Marrakech and Ouarzazate. It also though can be very cold in winter - of course its up in the snowline but the snow fall is fairly unpredictable so travel should not be assumed to be off the cards during winter.
The main roads are usually cleared fairly quickly as its a major route for access to the centre of the country - at all times through the day and night you will see trucks travelling with their loads on the move. This is where the nearby town of Taddert near the top of TizinTichka is a 24 hour truck and transport stop providing an array of food and fluids and facilities.

Address: Telouet via Ouarzazate
Directions: 21 km from the main road from Marrakech to Ouarzazate. Well signposted at the turn off about 5-10 minutes past the highest road point of the Tizin Tichka- where there is a conglomeration of shops and altitude info post.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
