BESCHREIBUNG

This program is designed as a serious High Atlas gravel crossing, created for strong gravel and endurance riders looking for long days, sustained climbs, and remote mountain terrain.
Over three demanding riding stages, the route links the Amizmiz plateau to the Ouirgane forests, the high valleys of Toubkal National Park, and finally the Ourika watershed, before returning to Marrakech. Riders experience constant changes in altitude, climate, and landscape, with a high proportion of gravel tracks, old caravan roads, and low-traffic mountain routes.

This is not a leisure tour. It is an athletic gravel expedition supported by professional local logistics, allowing riders to focus fully on performance, scenery, and cultural discovery.

Key characteristics:

  • Long mountain stages up to 80 km per day
  • Elevation gains reaching approximately 2,200 m

  • Remote High Atlas gravel routes

  • Strong cultural immersion in Amazigh villages

  • Full support: guide, vehicle, logistics, meals, and accommodation

The route penetrates deep into the High Atlas Mountains, following forest roads, balcony tracks, and remote village connectors. Expect sustained climbs, thin air at altitude, and long gravel ascents followed by fast, scenic descents.

  • Several optional loops and passes allow the stage to be built as a true endurance day, reaching high elevation gain while staying almost entirely on gravel and secondary roads.
