Not every bike trip marrakech offers comes with a stop at a women’s Argan oil cooperative before the pedaling even starts. This e bike trip trades the effort of a normal mountain ride for the reward, real Atlas scenery, real Berber life, without needing the legs of a professional cyclist to enjoy it.
The e-assist means climbing to the Tizi n’Techt pass for lunch with mountain views doesn’t require the fitness of our standard MTB day trips, then it’s a joyful, assisted descent into the Marigha Valley, crossing a river backed by colorful mountainsides. This bike trip marrakech route proves that an e-bike can still deliver a genuine High Atlas adventure.

Day 1
E-Bike Day Trip from Marrakech to the Atlas Mountains
We pick you up from your accommodation in Marrakech in a 4WD vehicle or minivan for a 1.5-hour drive south up the Moulay Brahim Gorges. Our first stop is a women’s argan oil cooperative, where there is a tasting of bread with oil and Moroccan tea. Then we continue to Asni, which is very popular for its weekly market every Saturday, and on to Imlil, crossing a vibrant green valley that stays fresh and lush even during the hottest days of summer. Imlil is a small village in the foothills of Toubkal, the highest mountain in Morocco. On arrival in Imlil, we leave our vehicle and start riding. We head towards the Azzaden Valley via Imi Oughlad and the Ait Maizane Valley. Upon reaching the mountain pass of Tizi n’Tacht, we have lunch with a great view over the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains and a chance to take in the impressive scenery before the descent to the Azzaden Valley. We keep biking down to the Marigha Valley, across the river and through colourful mountains. In the late afternoon, we transfer back to Marrakech.
