Sechs Tage in den Tälern des Atlas auf einem Bosch-E-MTB. Die Reise, bei der eine Gruppe mit unterschiedlichen Levels zusammen fahren kann.
Stops
Villages and passes in riding order, with the altitudes we record for each day. A route overview rather than a GPS trace: the line follows roads and tracks between the stops, so where a day crosses a pass on mule paths the drawn line takes the nearest rideable way round and will read longer than the distance we quote. Trails between stops vary with conditions and with your group.
This 6-day e-bike tour in the Atlas Mountains solves the problem most groups have: people ride at different speeds. On e-MTBs, the strongest rider and the least experienced one arrive at lunch together, and everybody enjoys the day.
The route works through the classic High Atlas valleys — Imlil, Imenane, Azzaden, Ouirgane and the Kik Plateau — on dirt roads and easy trails rather than technical singletrack. You cover ground a normal bike would take twice as long over, which means you reach villages most visitors never see.
We run Bosch-powered e-MTBs with 625Wh batteries and carry spare batteries in the support vehicle. Range is never what ends your day.
Day 1
Airport → Marrakech medina
Airport pickup and transfer to your riad. We fit the e-bikes, run through how the assistance modes work and what battery management looks like in the mountains, then eat together in the medina.
Day 2
Marrakech → Imlil → Imenane Valley
Transfer to Imlil and your first proper day on the e-bike. The climb to the Tizi n'Tamatert pass at 2,300m is where most people understand the point of an e-MTB. It is a serious climb that becomes genuinely enjoyable. Then a long traverse into the Imenane valley through terraced villages.
Day 3
Imenane Valley → Azzaden Valley
Over a col and down into the Azzaden, riding beside the river through walnut and cherry terraces. This is one of the greenest valleys in the range and the trail follows the water for most of the afternoon. The gîte sits at 1,800m with Toubkal visible from the terrace.
Day 4
Azzaden Valley → Ouirgane
A descent-heavy day out of the high valley into the red-earth country around Ouirgane. We stop at the salt workings and ride through the national park on quiet dirt roads. Afternoon at the guesthouse. There is a pool, and after three days you will use it.
Day 5
Ouirgane → Kik Plateau → Asni
The best day of the trip. A steady climb onto the Kik Plateau puts you on a high, open ribbon of track with the full Atlas range on one side and the plain on the other. It runs for over 20km with almost no interruption, and on an e-bike you can hold a proper pace the whole way.
Day 6
Asni → Marrakech → Airport
A short final ride down the Asni valley before we load the bikes and drive back to the city. Airport transfer whenever your flight goes, or we can drop you at a hotel if you are staying on.
This one runs all year. Multi-day trips are private departures on the dates you choose — there is no fixed calendar to fit around and no strangers added to make up numbers.

Village guesthouses need booking, so give us a few weeks' notice where you can. Tell us your dates and we will confirm quickly.
A 625Wh battery covers a normal day on our routes in eco and tour modes, including the climbs. We also carry fully charged spares in the support vehicle and swap them at lunch on the longer days, so running out is not something you need to think about.
That is exactly what this trip is for. The assistance levels close the gap almost entirely. A fit rider in eco mode and a less experienced one in turbo will arrive at the same time. It is the most common reason people book it.
No. It is dirt roads, wide mule tracks and easy trail. If you want technical singletrack on an e-bike, ask about the e-MTB versions of our MTB routes instead.
Around 23–25kg. You feel it when lifting the bike, but not while riding. If you are worried about handling the weight on descents, tell your guide on day one and they will set your suspension and pick lines accordingly.
