Marrakech - Ouarzazate itinerary in February via the Tizi n'Tichka Pass

I'm planning to go to the Marrakech area in mid-February 2026 and I'd like to spend a few days in the Ouarzazate region, taking the Tizi n'Tichka Pass. I've heard that in winter this road can sometimes be closed due to snow. Is it closed for long periods?

Where can I find information about the road conditions?

I tried downloading the MaRoute app on my smartphone, which was recommended by Dan49ch, but it's no longer available. Has it been replaced by another app?

Thanks and see you soon

The pass might be closed due to snow, but it's rare, and when it happens, it doesn’t last long because it’s a major route.

This road really doesn’t stay closed for very long when it happens. Recently, there’s been a lot of snowfall, and it’s stayed open. If you really want the My Route app, you’ll need to search for "My Route Morocco" in your app store—you should find it. Though I’m not sure how good it is. Otherwise, check out online newspapers like Telquel.ma.

Hi there, If you want up-to-date info on the day you're planning to take the road, just ask the local authorities, grand taxi drivers, or at gas stations south of Marrakech. In Morocco, people still talk to each other when they have a question :-) Murielle

Thanks to everyone for your feedback on the condition of the Marrakech - Ouarzazate road and how to find info in case of snowfall. Jerome
