Before the modern pass road was built, everything moving between Marrakech and the south went through Telouet and down the Ounila valley. The Glaoui family controlled that route from a kasbah at Telouet whose outer walls are collapsing while the painted reception rooms inside are still standing — one of the strangest and most memorable interiors in Morocco.
The day crosses the High Atlas on the Tizi n'Tichka pass, with the switchbacks and the viewpoints that go with it, then leaves the main road for Telouet. After the kasbah you follow the Ounila valley: a narrow, red-walled corridor of earthen villages, terraces and old caravanserai buildings, on the route that leads down towards Aït Ben Haddou.
It is a driving-and-walking day, not a hike. The walking is inside the kasbah and around the villages you stop at. What you get is the history of the pass in the landscape it happened in — and a road most day trips skip because the main highway is faster.
We do not publish driving times for the pass. Conditions on the Tichka vary with weather and roadworks, and we tell you the honest window for your date instead.

If you are interested in how the south was controlled and what a Glaoui kasbah actually looked like inside, yes. The painted rooms survive even though much of the outer building has collapsed.
Yes, on request. The Ounila valley road leads towards it. It makes the day considerably longer, so tell us when you enquire and we will be honest about the timing.
Only inside the kasbah and around the village stops. The day is mostly driving with short walks.
The Tizi n'Tichka is a paved mountain pass with many bends, then a smaller road towards Telouet and the valley.
