Tour Plan
Day 1: Marrakech – Imlil – Tachedirt – Imsker
Your adventure begins with a short transfer from Marrakech into the heart of the High Atlas Mountains. Once you reach Imlil, situated at the foot of Mount Toubkal (4,167m), you will meet the team, prepare your mountain bikes and begin your ride.
The route initially follows a scenic mountain road towards Tizi n’Tamatert Pass (2,280m). This first climb is a great warm-up, with a steady ascent and spectacular views overlooking the deep valleys below. The landscape is a striking contrast of green agricultural terraces, rugged and arid mountain slopes, and dramatic High Atlas peaks.
From the pass, continue along mountain tracks towards a succession of traditional Amazigh villages, seemingly clinging to the steep mountainsides. In the distance, the majestic peaks of the High Atlas rise above the valleys, often covered with snow depending on the season.
After reaching the high point, enjoy an exhilarating descent through the spectacular mountain scenery. The trail eventually brings you to Imsker, where you will finish the day’s ride and settle into a traditional Amazigh lodge for the evening.
Mountain biking: Approx. full day
Overnight: Traditional Amazigh lodge in Imsker
Day 2: Imsker – Imi Oughlad – Tizi n'Tacht – Asni – Marrakech
After breakfast, get back on your bike and leave Imsker along a dirt track that gradually climbs into the mountains. The steady ascent winds through the rugged landscape, opening up beautiful views across the Ait Mizane Valley, neighbouring valleys and the surrounding mountain passes.
Continue towards Tizi n’Tacht Pass, where you will stop to rest, enjoy some refreshments and take in the panoramic views from the summit. From the pass, the route becomes more adventurous, with a choice of rocky singletrack and dirt roads leading downhill through the mountains. Enjoy the descent as the landscape gradually changes, eventually reaching Imi Oughlad.
From here, continue by bike towards Asni, where your two-day mountain biking adventure comes to an end.
After saying goodbye to the local team, your vehicle will be waiting to transfer you back to Marrakech, arriving later in the day.
