Our most popular off-road biking trip, riding on exciting trails through the High and Anti Atlas mountains, Berber villages and past ancient kasbahs
The scenery is wild and varied; we cycle through tiny Berber villages, beautifully cultivated valleys, lush palm-filled oases, and explore numerous crumbling kasbahs. The riding itself is just as spectacular; endless descents on fast gravel pistes, singletrack and donkey tracks. This route is the product of over 10 years research and fine-tuning, offering an unrivalled off-road experience through a striking landscape of jagged mountains and gorges. The combined use of Landrovers and bikes allows us to see a substantial part of the region and gain a fascinating insight into the traditional Berber life. Great riding and good hotels ensures both adventure and comfort.
