Central High Atlas: Mountain biking in the High Atlas focuses on the two favourite hiking sites of the Toubkal and M’Goun mountains. The main selling point of Toubkal is its proximity to Marrakech while that of M’Goun has more difficult access. However, it can be combined with its neighbour, the Jebel Saghro. If you plan to cross the Atlas, it is better to take a mule to transport the bike on the sections that are impossible to ride.
Jebel Saghro: Between the snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas and the sands of the Sahara, Jebel Saghro is the number 1 destination for mountain biking in Morocco. The landscape is animated with runner tracks dominated by pink rock towers. More simply, this place is perfect for mountain biking and with the Dades and Todra Gorges nearby.
Anti-Atlas: In the southwest of the backbone of Morocco, the Anti-Atlas is an excellent starting point for discovering mountain biking in Morocco. The trails are less dizzying than elsewhere and run through picturesque valleys and Berber villages.
