Is the road to Tizi n'Ouadi?

Set high in the High Atlas Mountains range, the road to the summit, also known as Tizi n' Ou Addi, is pretty challenging. It’s called P2030 and starts paved from the Oukaïmeden ski resort, but suddenly turns into gravel and sand. It’s a 4x4 track, but some pics show 2wd cars near the summit. There are 7 hairpin turns on the way up. It’s usually impassable from November to June. 

How long is the road to Tizi n'Ouadi?

Starting from Oukaïmeden ski resort, the road is 5.7 km (3.54 miles) long. Over this distance the elevation gain is 325 meters. The average gradient is 5.70%, hitting a brutal 15 % through some of the ramps.
