Chefchaouen – Jbel El Kelaa
HardA direct climb from the blue alleys of Chefchaouen to the summit overlooking the town and valley.
Jbel El Kelaa is the mountain that watches over Chefchaouen. The trail starts at Ras El Maa and climbs through fields and villages, then forest, to the summit.
The climb is long and steady, but the view over the blue city and the Laou valley is worth the effort.
