Atlas Berber Valley 2-Day E-Bike tour
Overview
Embark on a profound 48-hour odyssey with our Atlas Berber Valley E-Bike Tour. This journey offers a rare opportunity to witness the dramatic contrasts of Morocco—from the snow-capped High Atlas peaks and lush Berber valleys to the silent, rolling horizons of the Agafay Desert.
Designed for adventurous souls who value both exploration and ease, our state-of-the-art electric mountain bikes allow you to navigate rugged terrains and high passes without the typical strain. You will glide through ancient Berber settlements clinging to steep hillsides, share traditional mint tea with local families, and immerse yourself in an authentic way of life that has remained unchanged for centuries. This is a high-altitude cultural immersion delivered with modern technology and legendary hospitality.
Location
This e-bike adventure takes place in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, just a short drive from the vibrant city of Marrakech. The High Atlas Mountains are a spectacular setting for a mountain biking & e-bike tour with hundreds of miles of dusty singletrack just waiting to be explored. With many years of experience guiding in the region, your local hosts can help you explore this region’s hidden riding potential.
The scenery makes for an impressive backdrop to your journey. The rugged and remote terrain has resisted the pressured of the modern world and feels like a window into a bygone era. Dramatic valleys offer vivid contrasts with the lush green irrigated fields along the valley bottom set against the barren rocky scree slopes that lead up to the snow-capped peaks.

*we recommend packing the following items
Energy cycling gels offer a quick form of crabs replenishment. Most contain the simple crab sugar, which is the fastest form of energy to replace glycogen. It’s suggested that people who cycle at a moderate intensity for more than 90 minutes, need to replace between 30g and 65g of carbohydrates per hour and we would thoroughly recommend bringing some of these with you, as well as some energy bars.
