2002 - Another 10 days off road mountain biking through the Morocan High Atlas. Close encounters with authentic Berber people and living a comfortless life … Go south from Marrakech and climb former ski station Imlil, descend slowly towards Taroudant after which you enjoy a mountain fringed track to the berber capital of Morocco.

HIGHLIGHTS ALONG THE TRIP

BEST TIME

The loop is best ridden in spring or fall due to hot summer temperatures. Even though you stay at +1000 m altitude, sun is burning brightly. Be aware of colder nights.

CAMPING

There are plenty of camping opportunities throughout the ride. Stay outside the communities to have a peaceful night. Avoid barking dogs and dwelling animals.

SUPPLIES
