Exciting trails through Atlas Mountains, Berber villages and ancient kasbahs

Atlas close ups

The scenery is wild and varied; we cycle through tiny Berber villages, beautifully cultivated valleys, lush palm-filled oases, and explore numerous crumbling kasbahs. You and your students will find the riding itself is just as spectacular with 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 four wheel drives 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 on this exhilarating ride through the challenging Anti Atlas Mountains.
