Atlas Descent
The scenery is wild and varied; we cycle through tiny Berber villages, beautifully cultivated valleys, lush palm-filled oases, and explore numerous crumbling kasbahs. The riding itself is just as spectacular; endless descents on fast gravel pistes, singletrack and donkey tracks.
This route is the product of over 10 years research and fine tuning, offering an unrivalled off-road experience through striking landscapes of jagged mountains and gorges. The combined use of Landrovers and bikes allows us to see a substantial part of the region and gain a fascinating insight into the traditional Berber life. Great riding and good hotels ensures both adventure and comfort.
