Best Raid MTB High Atlas Experience – Ride Across Remote Berber Trails – 8 Days
About this tour
MTB Adventure in the High Atlas
The MTB Adventure in the High Atlas is one of Morocco’s most unforgettable mountain experiences — a journey where rugged trails, dramatic ridgelines, and ancestral Berber culture merge into a single, powerful adventure. Designed for passionate riders seeking both challenge and immersion, this tour takes you deep into remote valleys, high-altitude passes, and mountain villages preserved through centuries.
From Marrakech’s vibrant energy, your adventure begins by crossing the legendary Tizi n’Tichka pass into the southern face of the High Atlas. The landscape rapidly transforms: ochre peaks, green terraces, and winding single-tracks create the perfect setting for a truly epic mountain-bike expedition. Every day brings a new terrain — from rocky climbs overlooking snow-capped summits to flowing descents cutting through hidden valleys.
This raid is more than a ride — it’s an immersion into the soul of Morocco’s mountain world. You’ll share tea with Berber families, sleep under the stars in high-plateau bivouacs, cross ancient transhumance paths, and feel the raw power of legendary peaks like M’Goun, Toubkal, and Siroua.
The MTB Adventure in the High Atlas alternates between effort and reward: technical climbs, playful single-tracks, breathtaking panoramas, peaceful pauses in villages, hearty homemade meals, and unforgettable evenings with local hosts. Throughout the journey, a professional team ensures safety, logistics, and support, allowing you to ride at your own rhythm.

Itinerary
Arrival in Marrakech, meeting with your guide, transfer to your riad, and relaxation before the adventure.
After crossing the Tizi n’Tichka pass, you reach Agouim where the bikes are prepared. You start pedaling through Berber villages with a gentle warm-up climb, stop for mint tea in the valley, enjoy a picnic facing the Tacheddirt landscapes, then continue with a flowing descent toward Tazoult before spending the night in a tented camp.
The day begins with a progressive climb and a series of switchbacks leading to a high plateau before riding a beautiful single-track to a mountain village. After a ridge-top lunch with views stretching from M’Goun to Toubkal, you continue along a panoramic ridge trail to reach Ameslane where you stay in a traditional lodge.
You descend a fun single-track into the valley before climbing toward Aït Ighelss and discovering saffron terraces on the southern side of the Atlas. After lunch facing the terraced fields, a steady ascent takes you to 2,550 m to cross a granite cirque before reaching a stunning high-altitude bivouac under the stars.
The day takes you through the wide Taâyalt valley with Mount Toubkal in the distance, followed by a visit to the lively local souk. After a riverside lunch, you ride over a succession of small passes that lead to the Tifnoute valley, where you spend the night with a welcoming Berber host family.
You climb through traditional Atlas villages with stone houses and fortified granaries, share tea with locals, then tackle the long ascent to a 2,450 m pass. From there, a rewarding descent brings you into the magnificent N’fiss valley where you settle into a comfortable lodge hosted by a local family.
A short 4×4 transfer brings you to the Ouirgane region for the final ride of the tour, mixing enjoyable single-tracks, playful technical segments, and forest trails.
