This is the ultimate Morocco enduro mountain bike route and ranks amongst the hardest of KE's bike trips, with a considerable amount of climbing and technical singletrack. Going where others don’t dare, we focus on the central part of Morocco's Atlas Mountains and bike across a succession of high passes between the main valleys, from Imilchil in the north-east to Toubkal (North Africa’s highest peak). This is a continuous bike traverse, with the route following mule tracks and rough, narrow piste roads between the many picturesque Berber villages. We even provide mule transport to help with the longest carries! This is a high-level mountain bike route for confident and experienced riders only. It should not be underestimated, nor mistaken for the easy Atlas foothills riding offered by other mountain bike companies. Combining the colour and mystique of Marrakech with the delightful people and landscapes of the High Atlas, this is the definitive Morocco biking experience.
FAT TYRE ADVENTURE. One of our toughest mountain biking trips, involving long days and testing biking conditions. In total, we climb and descend approximately 13,500m/44,300ft whilst covering 650km/400 miles off-road. There are some long sections where we have to push our bikes up to passes and odd sections of descent that are too technical to ride. In Morocco altitude is not a major factor but the heat of the sun can be, hence we run this trip either side of the hot summer months. Average daily distance 55 km/34 miles.
