Atlas MTB Pathfinders
Jakob FircksJakob has been exploring mountains around the world, on the bike, feet or on ski. Extended journeys on the MTB lead him through the Alps, Andes , the Sinai or most recently the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Drawn by the raw beauty and wilderness of the Atlas he discovered a world of unlimited options, almost untouched. The encounters and people he met along the trips through the Moroccan mountains inspired him to work on a long distance trail project, as a way to connect travelers with the Amazigh culture of the Atlas.

Anselm DuchrowAnselm is an adventure enthusiast and would probably have become an explorer if he’d lived in the times of Ernest Shackleton. He grew up trekking and skiing around Mont Blanc and later his career brought him to the most remote places from Mozambique to the Brazilian rainforest. His curiosity for other cultures and his passion for nature matched perfectly with his jobs in rural development and biodiversity protection. AMT is a product of his work with rural communities in the Atlas and his hunger for adventures.
