Morocco MTB Tours

Narrow, rocky and natural. The mule paths run along the contours between villages, cut wide enough for one loaded animal, and they have been in continuous use for centuries — so the good lines are polished and the bad ones never existed. Expect loose rock, off-camber sections, exposure in places, and almost no berms.

There is no trail centre here, no signage and no maintenance crew. If a section washes out in a storm the village repairs it because they need it, which means the network survives but changes. Our guides ride it constantly, which is how we know what is rideable this month rather than last year.

Riders coming from the Alps or Finale generally find the terrain rawer and less predictable, and the good ones find it better for exactly that reason.

Intermediate means you ride regularly, are comfortable on loose rocky descents, and can handle 30 to 38km off-road on consecutive days. The 2-day, 3-day and 9-day Atlas-to-Atlantic tours sit here.

Advanced means steep, committing, technical terrain with consequences — the 8-day classic and the enduro trip. We are deliberately strict about this. Putting an intermediate rider on the enduro tour does not produce a stretched rider, it produces a hurt one.

If you are unsure, tell us how you ride and where, and we will tell you honestly which trip fits. We would rather sell you the right tour than the expensive one.

We run full-suspension trail bikes with 140–150mm travel from Trek, Scott and Cube, serviced after every tour and set up for your height and weight. For the enduro trip we run 160–170mm bikes, and most riders on that trip bring their own.

The 4x4 shadows every route with bags, spare parts, water and lunch. On the enduro tour it also provides uplift wherever a road reaches the top of a trail.

Bring your own bike if you prefer — we build it, service it daily and carry a spare wheelset. Bring more brake pads than you think you need; Atlas descents eat them.
