Epic Singletrack Atlas Mountains
Overview
Leave the fire roads behind and conquer the best trails North Africa has to offer. Our 8-Day Epic Singletrack Tour is a pure, adrenaline-pumping expedition designed exclusively for experienced mountain bikers. This is a fully supported technical enduro and freeride journey through the raw heart of the High Atlas.
Prepare for an unparalleled biking experience where “no fire roads” is the rule. You will navigate technical ridgelines, high-alpine rock gardens, and ancient Berber mule tracks that have remained unchanged for centuries. From the technical descents of the Azzaden Valley to the “Natural Velodromes” of the Kik Plateau, this tour pushes your limits while rewarding you with awe-inspiring vistas of snow-capped peaks and hidden earthen villages. This is the definitive Moroccan singletrack bucket-list adventure.
