Is the road to Col D'Azwin paved?

The road through the High Atlas mountain range, located in central Morocco, is mostly paved. However, due to harsh weather conditions, some sections may be subject to damage, with parts of the road often disappearing or becoming debris-strewn. Travelers may encounter rockfalls, stretches without guardrails, and numerous hairpin turns. Additionally, narrow passages make it challenging for vehicles coming from opposite directions to pass. Despite the risks, the drive offers breathtaking scenery throughout the journey, making it a remarkable, albeit challenging, experience.

How long is Col D'Azwin?

The road through the pass is called R307. The pass is 47km (30 miles) long, running north-south from Demnate, roughly 110 km east of Marrakech, to the isolated village of Aït Tamlil.
