Algeria

Algeria runs three modest ski areas across the Atlas Tellien and the Djurdjura National Park, all within driving distance of Algiers. Chréa above Blida is the closest to the capital at 1500 m; Tikjda and Tala-Guilef sit inside the Djurdjura limestone massif of Kabylia. Low altitudes and unreliable seasons keep crowds rare, but the Mediterranean-meets-cedar-forest combination is unlike anywhere else.
