Destinations: Imlil, Ourika Valley · Duration: 4 days · Difficulty: Challenging · Group size: Up to 6
This is mountain biking for riders who chase the descent. Over four days you link the High Atlas’s most exciting singletrack — rocky ridge lines, loose switchbacks and flowing valley trails — with strategic vehicle shuttles to maximise your time pointing downhill.
Quality full-suspension bikes, an expert riding guide and a support vehicle keep the days flowing and safe. You climb where the trail demands it, but the emphasis is on technical, adrenaline-charged descents through some of North Africa’s most spectacular mountain terrain.
This 4 days journey is led by licensed local guides who grew up in High Atlas, giving you privileged access to a Berber gateway village at 1,740m where mule tracks still link mountain hamlets alongside honest, unhurried travel. Every detail — comfortable private transport, hand-picked accommodation and authentic meals — is arranged so you can simply relax and take it in.
It is perfect for active travellers and keen hikers who want a genuine, well-run experience rather than a rushed coach tour. Small groups, transparent pricing and flexible planning mean the trip flexes around you.
