What awaits you

Designed for a couple or two friends, this private tour links the western High Atlas with the Toubkal valleys. Each day crosses a pass or climbs a valley, then drops back down through Berber villages where we stop for tea with local families.

A mule carries the bikes on the steepest singletrack so you can ride it again if you like, and the support car is never far away. There is no minimum distance: you choose how much you ride.
