A challenging Mountains bike tour in the Atlas Mountains, could be one of the highlights of your entire trip in Morocco, explore the Atlas Mountains by bike. The ride itself is just spectacular endless descents of fast gravel off-road single track and donkey tack, we offer an unrivalled off road experience through striking landscapes of jogged mountains and gorges.
After breakfast, transfers to Imlil, we leave Imlil riding down through the Imlil valley to Imi’oughelad, then take a dirt road that climbs steadily, zigzagging up to allow us to enjoy a very nice view over the Ait Maizane valley, the neighboring valleys and all the small passes. We continue to the Tacht pass where we will stop for drinks and some nuts, then continue along the Azzaden valley on dirt roads to Id Aissa villages. It is possible to extend this ride if anyone wants to. Night in gite (guest house). At 1800m.
This is a day of singletrack. The Guest house is at nearly 1800 m in altitude and today is the day to ‘cash in’ on the altitude! This path links three or four villages as we traverse from one to the other. There are a couple of little climbs of 3-400m which catapult us into incredibly fast sections. We stop for lunch in a secluded wooded part of the riverbed where mint tea is waiting for our arrival. After lunch we’re off again.
A short warm up of 2 km and we’re crossing a large dam to find the entrance to yet another incredible ribbon of singletrack to a spectacular gorge. This is truly breathtaking scenery to match some of the best singletrack in the world! From here we have a gentle ride to the gite 10km outside Amizmiz (1005m) this day will take us to Ait Zitoune village where we can enjoy a nice hammam after a long ride.
This is the last day on the bike and possible the best! Today is another tough great singletrack challenge day with some great climbing and challenges all morning! We will stop in Berber house for a couple of min tea, and then continue our riding to lunch place. After lunch transfers back to Marrakech
This company was absolutely brilliant. My guide was extremely knowledgeable and kind , encouraging me when the Biking was difficult. Safety was paramount , the views were amazing…..! I would certainly come back again and use Mountain Bike Morocco Company.
