Travel deep into the Atlas Mountains on remote trails known only by our local guide, experienced mountain bike leaders. Stunning mixed trail, challenging terrain, beautiful scenery and seldom visited villages, you’ll also explore the Berber valley, sampling wonderful food and enjoying the very best Moroccan hospitality.
Transfers from Marrakech to Imlil, This is the start of the riding on the first day. We start with a climb! Not a tough one but good enough to put pressure on the pedals to make sure everything is working. At the top of the pass, we usually stop for mint tea and biscuits before heading for the first real singletrack through the villages of Tacheddirt, Tamguist and Amssakrou. This is good, flowing singletrack for a couple of hours which drops us into the riverbed for lunch. After a good, long lazy lunch we’re off again. A short climb which turns into a singletrack descent.. At the end of this singletrack we stop in a Gite for the night at Imi Oughlad.
After breakfast we leave Imi’oughelad following 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 passing through several villages to get to Tizi Oussem. It is possible to extend this ride if anyone wants to. Night in gite (guest house). At 1850m.
Today we will come back along the same valley and then over to Tinzert village which is situated at the top of the beautiful Ouirgane Park, following an easy single track to get to Ouirgane where we stay for the night.
We will bike through the olive trees over to Tizi Ouzla to get to the Amezmiz valley and come into it from the top passing through many villages and riding smooth flowing single tracks that go through fields and dry hills. This day will take us to Ait Zitoune village where we can enjoy a nice hammam after a long ride.
Today we have a nice climb to get to the KIK plateau where we will ride nice single tracks along the fields and next to the houses, meeting local people and animals and facing the snow covered Atlas Mountain chain. We will ride over the Tizi to get to Asni where our bike trip end, transfers back to Marrakech
Just went back from a beautiful bike trip in Morocco. Unbelievable beautiful environment. Everything was well organized and we had no problems. The weather was incredibly good.
Highly recommended Company.
