Duration

Not every Biking Morocco Day Trip needs eight days to feel like a real expedition. Your bike travels ahead of you by mule to the top of Tizi Mezzik, 2.280 meters up, while you make the climb on foot, then it’s back in the saddle for one of the most demanding descents we offer: rough, technical singletrack that drops through the Azzaden Valley with barely a moment to catch your breath.
This Biking Morocco Day Trip is rated hard for a reason, maximum technical difficulty, real elevation, and a route that keeps testing you almost until the very end, with an optional extra stretch of singletrack for anyone who isn’t ready to stop. By late afternoon you’re back in Marrakech, in time for dinner, having packed more genuine mountain biking into a single day than most people manage in three.

Challenging Singletrack and Short Walk Day Trip from Marrakech to the Atlas Mountains
After breakfast, you are picked up from your hotel in Marrakech, and a short transfer of about 1.5 hours takes us to the foot of Toubkal. Once we get to the village of Imlil, we get our bikes. Our bikes are transported by mule while we all walk to the pass of Tizi Mzik (2,280 m), where we hit the road again with our bikes. A nice but difficult singletrack descent over rough and sometimes steep slopes leads through the beautiful Azzaden Valley to the village of Tizi Oussem. Along the way, we have views over beautiful valleys. After the village, we join the off-road track up to the pass of Tizi n’Tacht, where we have lunch prepared by our team. After lunch, there is an optional singletrack, or we simply continue off-road to the village of Imi Oughlad, about 12 km away, where we finish and then transfer back to Marrakech.
