The last day of the tour leads you over the plateau Yagour, famous for its ancient stone carvings and high altitude pastures in the shade of the holy mountain Jbel Meltsene. In terms of statistics the tour looks like a rather relaxed end of the crossing, but a very steep 1.000 height meter ramp to the plateau, followed by over 20km of technical single trail on high altitude are not to be underestimated.

The different views you will catch into the rugged valley of Oued Tensift are one of the scenic highlights of the tour. Another highlight is undoubtedly the last downhill trail to the village of Assads that is better than any designed trail in a MTB Park in the Alps.

Rest day, with just 14 km on the provincial road P1506. Enough to warm up the muscles and enjoy the colourful but arid landscape leading back to the Central Atlas high plains. We are back on one of the touristic attractions of the High Atlas as the road connects the Tizi-n-Tischka Pass with the famous Unesco World Heritage Site Ait Ben Haddou. Just before the pass Tizi Tanbdout (1.960m) a small path on the right hand side of the road leads into a narrow canyon to the salt mines of Telouet.

Be prepared for a long day with radical changes in landscapes and temperatures. From Ifoulou we follow the Tassaout river downhill until we reach the N23 in Aît Alla, where we turn left. This road connects Ouarzarzate and Demnate, crossing the Atlas mountain chain. The first 15 km uphill are a great warmup until reaching the Tizi’n Fadghat pass at 2.232 m. To your left the massif Jbel Toudja (2.770 m). From there enjoy the windy road down through a landscape of stones in all shades of ochre.

This is the first challenging day of the tour and leads you deep in the mountains, far off the beaten trails. Starting in Tiziatine/Rouguelt, we chartered two mules to carry our bikes the 11 km hike up to the Tisi n Rouguelt pass at almost 3.000 metres altitude. The path follows the beautiful river Assif n Tifira, which at this time of the year was a powerful creek with rapids and smaller waterfalls. The ascent took us about four hours but it is worth the hike. The landscape gradually became more rocky and arid. The view from the pass offers breathtaking views into the High Tessaout Valley, one of the most important water streams of the central Atlas.

This leg is a bit longer than the first day, but also rather easy, rolling through scenic landscapes of the Ait Bouguemez valley in the shadow of the Mt. Mgoun. Until the village of Ifrane the trail follows the river, meandering through lush orchards and terraced fields. This section offers a gentle ride, with possibilities to join the road, where water, mud or vegetation become too much.

This thrilling route from Aït M’Hamed (1.800 m) to Zawyat Oulmzi (1.700m) takes you across one of Morocco’s most scenic high-altitude corridors, offering medium climbs, fast descents, and constant views of the Central High Atlas. It’s more than a ride — it’s a journey through landscapes carved by time and shaped by Amazigh tradition.
