Discovering Morocco and the Atlas Mountains by bike can feel like a dream—but the reality is far better. Our 8-day classic MTB experience is carefully designed to show you the very best of the Berber region through trails that are accessible, scenic, and deeply authentic. This tour is perfect for families, groups, and those looking to transition from beginner to intermediate riding.

Traverse high mountain passes, glide through lush green valleys, and explore remote villages tucked away in the foothills. You will navigate dusty single-tracks, share trails with mule caravans, and experience the legendary hospitality of the local people. From the snow-capped peaks of **Mount Toubkal** to the limestone “natural velodromes” of the **Kik Plateau**, this is true, entertaining trail biking at its finest.

Location

This 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 trip 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.

The area is dotted with the villages and towns of the Berber people; their characteristic stone houses nestled picturesquely into steep hillsides. This region of Morocco remained isolated until the early 20th century and for a long time the fiercely independent local people resisted French colonisation. To this day the Berber people retain a strong sense of their unique identity and operate in many ways independently of the Moroccan government. The regions rich cultural heritage makes it the perfect destination for an adventure.
