Djurdjura National Park

Djurdjura National Park protects a section of the Djurdjura mountain range in Algeria’s Kabylie region, preserving high limestone ridges, forests and alpine meadows. The area is valued for its rugged topography and biodiversity.

The park’s landscape is characterised by steep karst peaks, deep valleys and montane woodlands, with established routes for hiking and local outdoor activities. Higher ridges provide extensive views across the Tell Atlas.

Conservation in the park focuses on protecting mountain ecosystems, native trees and traditional land uses while providing managed public access for recreation and nature appreciation.

The park lies in northern Algeria within Tizi Ouzou Province in the Kabylie region, occupying upland terrain of the Tell Atlas range not far from the Mediterranean coast.

• Seasonal snow and activities: The massif frequently retains snow in winter, creating seasonal opportunities for mountain walking and views of the greater Tell Atlas from higher ridges.

What to See #

• Lalla Khedidja (highest peak): Lalla Khedidja is the highest summit in the Djurdjura massif and the Tell Atlas sector within the park, forming a focal point for high-mountain hiking and panoramic views.
• Cedar and montane woodlands: Cedars and montane woodlands occupy mid-elevation zones in the park and are important for regional biodiversity and landscape character.
