Seven multi-day routes, researched and mapped with the people who live along them. 2,000 kilometres from the desert plains in the east to the Atlantic in the west.

Atlas Mountain Trails is a curated network of multi-day MTB routes across Morocco's Atlas Mountains. Each route offers a 3 to 7 day bikepacking ride, researched and mapped together with local guides and cyclists. Together they form a 2,000-kilometre trail system connecting remote valleys, high mountain passes and traditional Amazigh communities.

The project provides bike enthusiasts from around the world with the information and contacts to organise a self-supported bike adventure in Morocco. Every route was developed in close cooperation with a network of local tourism professionals who have a long history of hosting travellers. Throughout the trail we aim to promote sustainable tourism through a community-based approach that values the culture and heritage of the Atlas and the Amazigh people.

On this site we share our experiences from the last ten years of riding in the Atlas: GPS tracks, detailed trail notes and background on culture and people, so you can plan your own bike adventure.
