Biking day trip Atlas Mountains
Overview
Conquer the legendary trails of the High Atlas on our premier mountain bike day trip from Marrakech. This high-altitude expedition takes you from the bustling red city into the heart of Toubkal National Park, where ancient Berber culture meets world-class singletrack.
Experience the ultimate rush as you climb to the Tizi N’Tamaterte pass (2280m), witnessing the snow-capped majesty of Mount Toubkal. You will navigate technical descents through “beehive” stone villages clinging to the mountainsides, share a traditional lunch with local families in the village of Ikkiss, and carve your way down dusty mule tracks through the vibrant Imenane Valley. This is Morocco’s definitive off-road experience for riders seeking both adventure and authentic cultural depth.
