That mountain behind the aircraft is the Atlas. The band of cliffs spans from about 2700m to 2800m elevation. This shows the aircraft was flying up the eastern side of the valley, and the left turn would line them up with the Segnes Pass, of which the lowest point is 2625m rising to 2742m either side. On the webcam photos you see the pass as the lowest part of the ridge on the left side, and you can also see Atlas on the right.

Good map of the area
