Notes: This five-night trip with four guided rides is an excellent way to get acquainted with a new cycling region. We have fantastic local guides to show you around and an MLDT team to assist you with anything you require. From the moment you arrive in Marrakesh, you will be accompanied by an English-speaking guide and a support vehicle. You will visit ancient towns, small mountain communities, and the magnificent city of Marrakesh. The real draw, however, is the world-class cycling on quiet mountain roads. We cross two 2,000-meter passes, both on incredible roads that are as good for cycling as any in the world. In 2023, come ride somewhere new.

​It's one of the world's most exotic cities. Marrakesh is full of stunning Riads, ancient markets and exotic food. We arrive here on day 5 and have a walking tour that evening . The last morning is free to explore the town.

​We go over 2,000m twice on roads built by the French between the wars. Great long climbs with hairpins and stunning views, this is early season climbing at it's best.
​Soak up the local Berber culture. That means switch out the coffee for mint tea, the pasta for tangines.

Off the bike we have time to explore both Marrakesh & stunning Ouarzazate. This ancient town is our base on night 4.

Route Overview
Our 5-night Atlas Mountain getaway is available in January, October, and November. We arrive in Marrakesh on Tuesday and drive to the outskirts of the city before heading south to Tizi n Test. From there, we travel to the oasis town of Taliouine before returning to Marrakesh via another 2,000-meter pass. Each ride is slightly more than 100 kilometers long, and we ride for the majority of the day.
Picture
Stage One:
From Imlil to Tizi n Test
Ride Distance: 104km
Elevation Gain: 2089m
​
We start cycling down to Asni town and take a short break with a possibility to visit the souk (local market). We then ride towards Ouirgane valley and head to Tizi n'Test pass. The pass was built in the 1930s and is an amazing feat of engineering. The road is narrow at times and by bike is the best way to see this incredible place with sweeping views for miles. We spend the night near the top.
Stage Two:
From Tizi n Test to Taliouine
Ride Distance: 109km
Elevation Gain: 853m
A much easier day than day 1. After the long descent off Tizi n Test we turn left onto a long straight section, perfect for some chainganging. This is a remote part of the Atlas and the Sportive Breaks train with 2 support vans on the back looks quite the picture cutting through the desert!
Stage Three:
From Taliouine to Ouarzazate
Ride Distance: 166km
Elevation Gain: 1961m
A rolling day in the remote Atlas. Almost exactly 100 miles of glorious quiet roads on nice tarmac. The majority of the climbing is in the first half of the ride and then we mostly descend down to the stunning town of Ouarzazate.
Stage Four:
From Ouarzazate to Ait Ourir (drive to Marrakesh)
Ride Distance: 145km
Elevation Gain: 1950m
We save the best ride to last. Breakfast in Ouarzazate, dinner in Marrakesh and two great cols to climb including Tizi n Tichka which goes over 2,000m. We leave the lunar landscape of the Atlas to the lush valleys closer to Marrakesh. A varied day and one of the best rides you will find.
Morocco Cycling Itinerary

Our Atlas Mountain breaks run from Marrakech to Marrakech, arriving in time to set up bikes and departing late from Marrakech with four epic rides in between.

Itinerary:
​
Day One: Imlil

Arrival day. Fly into Marrakesh where our host will meet you for the transfer to the Imlil valley where we spend the night. This is at the altitude of 1775m so we can quickly acclimatise to the altitude.

Day Two: Imlil to Tizi n’Test
Breakfast on the roof terrace with panoramic views of Mt Toubkal, North Africa's highest peak at 4167m. We begin cycling down to Asni town and take a short break with the option of visiting the souk (local market). Then we ride to Ouirgane valley and the Tizi n'Test pass. The pass was constructed in the 1930s and is an incredible feat of engineering. The road is narrow at times, and riding a bike is the best way to see this incredible place with miles of sweeping views. We spend the night at the summit.

Ride Distance: 104 km.
Elevation Gain: 2089 m.

Day Three: Tizi n Test to Taliouine
We begin with a breathtaking descent from the Tizi n'Test pss to the Souss plain. We then take a left turn and ride across the Atlas Mountains to the oasis town of Taliouine. Today is a much flatter day in a beautiful, remote part of the country, with much less climbing than yesterday. We spend the night in Taliouine, an Oasis town. This is a lovely town known for its safron, one of the most expensive spices in the world.

Ride Distance: 109 km.
Elevation Gain: 853 m.

Day Four: Taliouine to Ouarzazate
Today is a rolling day after yesterday's easy / flat day. We leave at 9 a.m. for a full day on the bike, including a lunch break and regular snacks at the feed stations. This is the most remote location we will visit on the trip. We finish in the ancient town of Ouarzazate, where we will have an evening to explore. If you want to skip a section of the ride, our support vehicles are available throughout.

Ride Distance: 166 km.
Elevation Gain: 1961 m.

Day Five: Ouarzazate to Marrakesh
A classic final day of riding. We travel over Tizi n'Tichka, one of Northern Africa's great roads, climbing over 2,000 meters before descending into the lush valleys near Marrakesh. We arrive just outside of town and drive into town. Before dinner, we take a walking tour of Marrakesh through the market. A fitting conclusion to an epic four days of riding in the Atlas.
​
Ride Distance: 145 km.
Elevation Gain: 1950 m.

Day Six: Marrakesh
Final morning at leisure to check out the markets of Marrakesh before we head back to the airport.
Airport Transfers:
Airport collections are from Marrakesh (RAK).
Arrival:
We will meet you in arrivals and give you a number to call if you are delayed.
