You only need this Mountain Biking Atlas Mountains Introdction to understand why people fall for the High Atlas. This Mountain Biking Atlas route packs a full-size adventure into 48 hours: riding out from Toubkal’s snow-capped shadow, over the Tizi n’Tamatert pass at 2.280 meters, and down through Berber villages that cling to the hillside like beehives.

Less than ninety minutes from Marrakech, Imlil is the last stretch of pavement before the real riding starts, singletrack, dirt roads, and passes that most visitors only see from a trekking trail. You’ll sleep one night in a Berber lodge in Imsker before finishing the second day back through the Ait Mizane valley. It’s the same terrain our longer expeditions cover, just condensed into a weekend this Mountain Biking Atlas Mountains trip actually fits into a normal life.

    Marrakech – Imlil – Tachedirt – Imsker

    After breakfast, you will be picked up from your hotel at 8:30 a.m, a short transfer takes us to the foot of Toubkal (4167m). Once we get to the village of Imlil,Situated in the heart of the Toubkal National Park, Imlil is the principal trailhead village for treks up the highest peaks in North Africa. The village offers good infrastructure for people wanting a pleasant mountain base for a few days, but is also an excellent place to start and/or finish longer, more linear, hikes. Its accessibility to Marrakech (under an hour and a half by road) makes it an excellent choice to get a good feel for how rural Moroccans live their lives, and much of the surrounding area is home to a landscape of snow-capped mountains we will get our bikes, and ride towards the pass of Tizi n’Tamatert at 2280m. The first warm-up is on a good rolling road overlooking the deep valley against bottom with contrasting cultures terraces with a arid flanks. We reach the track on the right side and we will find a succession of superb Berber villages beehives clinging to the sides of the mountains in the background with majestic summits of the High Atlas mountains frequently snowy. After a superb descent, our mountain biking end at Imsker where you spend the night at a berber lodge.
