2001 - Our 2nd High Atlas biketrip. Such a stunning scenery that we got addicted to it. The Berber lifestyle is basic and facilities are rare. Start with a birdseye view from Tizi 'n Tichka some 30 Km outside Marrakech. Follow the winding roads up to Imilchil at 2100 m and have a dip in the Cascades d'Ouzoud at the end of the trip.

BEST TIME
The loop is best ridden between fall and spring due to hot summer temperatures. Be aware that winter brings short days and cold nights.
​
CAMPING
Once you're in the Atlas, sleeping opportunities just pop up behind every corner. Sleeping in open air under a sky filled with little gazing stars, is one of the best experiences ever.
SUPPLIES
There are few water or food opportunities along the way. be prepared to carry at least 3 liter water when descending towards the deserted area when leaving Imilchil..
