Program Days
Upon arrival at Marrakech airport, you’ll be greeted and transferred to Imlil village, the heart of the High Atlas Mountains. Settle into your accommodation, meet your guide, and prepare for the exciting biking expedition ahead.
Begin your biking adventure with a scenic ride through the villages of Tacheddirt, Tamgaist, and Amssakrou. Enjoy technical single-track sections and breathtaking landscapes. End the day in Imi Oughlad with a delicious three-course dinner at your gîte, prepared by Berber chefs.
Start with a solid climb to reach a long, technical single-track descent. Refuel with snacks at a local shop before riding through more challenging terrain. Arrive in Ouirgane for dinner and overnight at a charming gîte, with time to capture some great biking shots.
Descend from nearly 2000m altitude on thrilling single-track trails through valleys and riverbeds. The route is fast, flowing, and full of tight corners and beautiful vistas. Stop for lunch along the way and continue to the village of Amizmiz for your overnight stay.
Today features a mix of demanding climbs and rocky descents. You’ll ride across dry riverbeds and technical single-tracks through the High Atlas wilderness. After a break for lunch near the van, continue to the quiet village of Azegour, where you’ll rest in a cozy mountain gîte.
Your final day of riding is packed with excitement. Navigate technical single-track with solid climbs and epic descents. The final stretch ends at a rickety bridge before you break for lunch. Then, either cycle or get a lift for the last 18 km to your guest house in Ouirgane.
After breakfast, transfer back to Marrakech. Spend the day exploring the souks, historic sites, and vibrant streets. Unwind with a traditional hammam spa and enjoy your final evening in a comfortable hotel included in your package.
