Destinations: Imlil, Ourika Valley · Duration: 4 days · Difficulty: Challenging · Group size: Up to 8
Gravel riding is the perfect way to explore the High Atlas: fast enough to cover ground, rugged enough to reach places cars cannot. This four-day tour links remote pistes, riverbeds and quiet backroads into an unforgettable route.
You will ride drop-bar gravel bikes with a support vehicle never far away, stopping at villages and viewpoints along the way. The mixed terrain keeps every day interesting, and comfortable guesthouses await each evening.
It is ideal for adventurous cyclists comfortable on loose surfaces who want a real backcountry experience.
Fitting and briefing, then gravel tracks into the foothills to a guesthouse.
Long gravel sectors through remote valleys with a picnic lunch.
Climb high pistes with sweeping descents to the next guesthouse.
A final mixed-terrain stage before transfer to Marrakech.
