We've done the hard work so you don't have to
All inclusive, fully supported singletrack mountain bike holidays based in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco. This adventure is 'linear' which means you get to stay in a different location each night. However, you only ride with your normal day pack as everything else is taken from each night time location to the next by our support vehicle. This helps keep the riding faster, lighter and more fun - it also means you get to explore the incredible singletrack at the heart of the High Atlas Mountains.
What's the singletrack like?
Mountain singletrack doesn't get better than this!
These trails are natural, remote, technical, steep, exposed, fast and tight! They have not been 'manicured' or maintained. This is REAL Mountain Biking. The singletrack ranges from fast and flowing to slow and super technical, so an ability to ride a full range of trails is a big advantage. A good level of fitness is also essential as a lot of the singletrack we ride is very remote and you cannot get a support vehicle to it. This means riding in and then padding up. The fitter and more technically able you are - the more fun you'll have!
This Morocco adventure is for the capable mountain biker. You should to be able to ride lose, rocky singletrack as well as fast flowing singletrack before you consider taking this on. However, we're not into big jumps or drops but the trails can be tight, technical and twisty as well as fast and flowing - so a good knowledge of braking and cornering is essential. Over 80% of the ride time is on various types of singletrack and we recommend a 5inch full suspension bike.
The emphasis is definitely on riding the best trail possible. However, that does not mean you need to sacrifice all other aspects of your holiday. Like all the best mountain bike holidays, we include great food, hospitality and a true Mountain Bike / Mountain experience never to forget. Big mountains, big singletrack, great food, great culture and more!
Make the most of your time off and book now!

Coming from further afield?
We always recommend that you bring your own bike. However, if you're coming from as far as Canada or even Australia we know that bringing your own bike can be a real challenge and barrier to getting here. Thats why we've teamed up with a local bike shop in Marrakech to bring you the latest in offerings from Giant at great rates. Please contact us for more details.
